Ingredients

• 12 oz spaghetti
• 1 lb ground beef
• 1 medium yellow onion, finely diced
• 3 garlic cloves, minced
• 14 oz diced tomatoes (canned, with juices)
• 2 tbsp tomato paste
• 4 cups chicken or beef broth
• 1 tbsp olive oil
• 1 tsp dried oregano
• 1 tsp dried basil
• 0.5 tsp red pepper flakes (optional)
• 1 tsp salt
• 0.5 tsp black pepper
• 0.25 cup grated Parmesan cheese (optional, for serving)
• 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Heat the olive oil in a large, deep skillet or Dutch oven over medium heat.

Step 2

Add the diced onion and garlic, and sauté for about 2-3 minutes until fragrant and softened.

Step 3

Add the ground beef to the skillet, breaking it up with a spoon. Cook until browned, about 5-7 minutes. Drain excess grease if necessary.

Step 4

Stir in the tomato paste, diced tomatoes (with their juices), oregano, basil, red pepper flakes (if using), salt, and black pepper.

Step 5

Pour in the broth and stir well to combine.

Step 6

Break the spaghetti in half and add it directly to the skillet, ensuring it’s submerged in the liquid.

Step 7

Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to medium-low. Cover and simmer for 12-15 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking. Cook until the spaghetti is tender and has absorbed most of the liquid.

Step 8

Remove the skillet from heat and let rest for 2-3 minutes. The sauce will thicken slightly as it cools.

Step 9

Serve warm, topped with grated Parmesan cheese and fresh parsley, if desired.
