How to Make Spaghetti Lovers Soup
- In a large saucepan or Dutch oven, brown 1 lb ground beef (or Italian sausage) over medium heat, breaking it up with a spoon. Add 1 medium onion (chopped), 1 green bell pepper (chopped), 2 stalks celery (chopped), 1 medium carrot (chopped), and 2 cloves garlic (minced). Cook until vegetables are tender and meat is no longer pink (about 8-10 minutes).
- Drain off any excess grease.
- Stir in 8 cups water, 28 oz can crushed tomatoes (undrained), 15 oz can tomato sauce, 1 tbsp sugar, 1 tbsp Italian seasoning, 1 tsp salt, ½ tsp black pepper, and a pinch of red pepper flakes (optional).
- Bring the mixture to a boil.
- Add 1 lb fusilli pasta (or spaghetti, broken into thirds).
- Return to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 12-15 minutes, or until the pasta is cooked through and the flavors have melded.
- Serve immediately with grated Parmesan cheese (optional).
