Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 pound lean ground beef
3 cloves garlic (minced)
Salt & freshly ground black pepper (to taste)
3 cups marinara sauce (homemade OR 1 (24-ounce) store-bought jar)
1 tablespoon tomato paste
1/2 teaspoon balsamic vinegar
1 teaspoon dried basil
3/4 teaspoon dried oregano
1/4 teaspoon dried thyme
1-2 teaspoons sugar (optional)
3 cups beef broth
8 ounces spaghetti noodles (broken in half)
Freshly grated Parmesan cheese (optional) (for serving)
Fresh minced parsley (optional) (for serving)
Crushed red pepper flakes (optional) (for serving)

Steps:

  • Set a large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef and cook until no longer pink, breaking apart and stirring as the meat cooks. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another minute or two until fragrant.
  • Drain the grease from the pot and season the beef with salt and pepper, to taste. Add the marinara sauce, tomato paste, balsamic vinegar, dried basil, dried oregano, dried thyme, sugar (if using), and beef broth. Stir well to combine, bring to a boil, and then reduce heat to a low simmer (about medium-low).
  • Lay the broken spaghetti noodles on top of the sauce, criss-crossing them and pressing them down until submerged by liquid. Do not stir at this point.
  • Cover and cook, stirring every 5 minutes, until the excess liquid is absorbed and the pasta is al dente, about 15 to 20 minutes total (see NOTES below).
  • Stir well and serve immediately, topped with plenty of Parmesan cheese.
