Ingredients for All In One Spaghetti

  • Ground Beef
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • Garlic Cloves
  • 1 (15 ounce) can tomato sauce
  • Tomato Paste
  • Tomato Juice
  • Water
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

  • Dried Oregano
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • Spaghetti

How to Make All In One Spaghetti

  1. In a large pot or Dutch oven, brown 1 lb ground beef over medium-high heat, breaking it up with a spoon. Drain off any excess grease.
  2. Add 1 medium onion, chopped, and 2 cloves garlic, minced, to the pot. Cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
  3. Stir in 28 oz can crushed tomatoes, 15 oz can tomato sauce, 1 (15 ounce) can tomato sauce, 1 teaspoon dried oregano, 1 teaspoon dried basil, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon black pepper, 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley, and 1 tablespoon sugar.
  4. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat to low.
  5. Cover and simmer for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  6. Add 1 lb spaghetti (uncooked), cover, and simmer for another 20-25 minutes, or until the pasta is cooked through and the sauce has thickened. Stir frequently to prevent sticking.
  7. Serve immediately, topped with grated Parmesan cheese.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Small additions can make a big impact! Try a sprinkle of fresh herbs, a dash of your favorite spice blend, or a squeeze of citrus just before serving to really enhance the flavors of your dish.
