Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 onion finely chopped, medium
- 3 cloves garlic minced
- 1 pound ground beef 85% lean
- 28 ounces crushed tomatoes
- 2 tablespoons tomato paste
- 1/2 teaspoon salt plus more to taste
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon basil dried
- 1 teaspoon oregano dried
- 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 12 ounces spaghetti
- Parmesan Cheese grated (for garnish, optional)
Instructions
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add chopped onion and garlic and sauté until onion is translucent, about 5 minutes.
- Increase heat to medium-high and add ground beef. Cook, breaking it apart with a spoon, until browned and cooked through, about 8 minutes.
- Stir in crushed tomatoes, tomato paste, salt, black pepper, dried basil, dried oregano, and red pepper flakes. Bring to a simmer and cook for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- While the sauce simmers, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add spaghetti and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
- Add cooked spaghetti to the sauce and toss to coat evenly. Serve hot, garnished with additional basil or Parmesan cheese if desired.
