One Pot Spaghetti
Description
This one-pot recipe begins by browning ground beef with diced onion, then adding garlic briefly for aromatics. Canned tomato sauce, diced tomatoes, water, and seasonings including Italian seasoning, salt, pepper, and a touch of sugar create a simmering sauce base. Broken spaghetti noodles are submerged in the sauce to cook fully.
Simmering covered allows the pasta to absorb the flavors and liquids, eliminating the need for separate boiling. Once cooked, the dish is finished with shredded Parmesan cheese and chopped fresh parsley, adding a creamy and fresh element.
The recipe notes suggest breaking the spaghetti in half ensures even cooking and helps submerge the noodles for uniform tenderness. Additional herbs and spices can be adjusted to taste before serving.
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef lean
- 1 sweet onion diced
- 5 cloves garlic minced
- 15 ounces tomato sauce canned
- 15 ounces diced tomatoes canned
- 2 3/4 cup water
- 1 tablespoon Italian seasoning
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 12 ounces spaghetti noodles dried
- 3/4 cup Parmesan Cheese shredded
- 2 tablespoons parsley fresh chopped
Instructions
- Add the ground beef and onion to a large dutch oven over medium heat and cook until browned. Drain the grease.
- Add the garlic to the pan and cook for 30 seconds, stirring constantly.
- Stir in the tomato sauce, undrained canned tomatoes, and water. Add the Italian seasoning, salt, pepper, and sugar. Bring to a boil over medium heat.
- Once boiling, break the spaghetti in half and add to the pot. Stir to submerge the noodles in the liquid.
- Return to a boil, reduce to a simmer, and cover.
- Cook, stirring occasionally, for 10-12 minutes or until noodles are cooked through.
- Sprinkle the Parmesan cheese and parsley over the top and stir to combine.
- Serve immediately.
Notes
- Breaking the spaghetti in half helps the noodles fit and cook evenly submerged in the sauce.
- Ensure the noodles are fully covered by the liquid for even cooking to prevent drying.
- Taste before serving and adjust seasonings such as herbs and spices to enhance the flavor if desired.
