Time 40m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 9

½ pound ground beef
1 small onion, chopped
2 (8 ounce) cans tomato sauce
1 ½ cups water
1 ½ teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon dried parsley
½ pinch dried basil
½ teaspoon black pepper
4 ounces uncooked spaghetti

Steps:

  • In a large skillet over medium heat, brown the ground beef with the onion until all pink is gone; drain.
  • Stir in tomato sauce, water, salt, parsley, basil and pepper; mix well. Heat until sauce boils. Break spaghetti in half and drop into sauce a little at a time. Cover and turn to low.
  • Cook until spaghetti is tender, approximately 20 to 25 minutes. Stir occasionally to keep from sticking to pan and from noodles sticking together. Add water, 1/2 to 1 cup, if it starts to dry out and noodles are not cooked.
