Servings: 4 people
Calories: 575kcal
Ingredients
- 1 lb (500g) ground beef
- salt
- ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1/4 cup diced onion
- 4 cloves garlic minced
- 28 oz (800g) crushed tomatoes
- 2 1/3 cups chicken or beef broth
- 8 oz (230g) spaghetti
- 1 tablespoon chopped parsley
- salt to taste
Instructions
- Season the ground beef with salt and ground black pepper. Set aside.
- Heat up a pan, skillet or pot on medium heat and add the olive oil. Saute the onion and garlic until aromatic and the onion turns soft. Add the ground beef, stirring continuously with a wooden spatula. Use the spatula to break up the lumps.
- Add the crushed tomatoes, broth, spaghetti and chopped parsley. Press the spaghetti down, so they are covered by the sauce.
- Cover the pan, skillet or pot and cook for 14 minutes. At 10 minutes point, uncover the lid and use the spatula to stir the spaghetti around. This will make sure that they won't stick to the bottom. Add salt to taste.
- Check the doneness of the spaghetti after 14 minutes. If it's still not cooked, add more broth and cook for a few more minutes. I like to cook my spaghetti al dente as the spaghetti will continue to cook after you remove it from the heat. Serve the spaghetti and meat sauce with grated parmesan cheese, if you like.
