Instructions
- In a pot over medium-high heat, sauté the ground beef, onion, and bell pepper until the meat is browned. Add the tomato sauce, stewed tomatoes, water, bouillon cubes, and all the herbs and spices. Simmer for 20 minutes.
- Add the Parmesan to the pot and stir. Taste the soup and add a bit of salt and/or sugar, if necessary.
- To serve, boil 4 quarts of water. Add the spaghetti to the boiling water and stir until the water returns to a boil. Turn the heat down and simmer for 8 to 9 minutes, until the noodles reach the desired tenderness. Drain the spaghetti and serve alongside the sauce.
Notes
- Because of the bouillon cubes make sure you taste the sauce before adding salt.

- You may find some tomatoes and tomato sauce a little more acidic than others. This of course depends on the brand being used. If this turns out to be the case, add a wee bit of sugar or baking soda.
