Spaghetti with Meat Sauce - Authentic Italian Style - Cooking Classy

Ingredients – The Dream Team

Here’s what you’ll need to summon the pasta magic:

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 pound ground beef (or your favorite meat alternative)
  • 1 can (28 ounces) crushed tomatoes
  • 2 tablespoon tomato paste
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon dried basil
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 pound spaghetti
  • Parmesan cheese for serving (because why not?)

Instructions – Let’s Cook!

Now that you have your ingredients lined up like good little soldiers, it’s time to make some magic happen:

  1. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Toss in your onion and let it sizzle for about 5 minutes until it’s soft and translucent – like a well-loved pair of pajamas!
  2. Add in the minced garlic and cook for another minute, ensuring it doesn’t burn (nobody likes burnt garlic, right?).
  3. Now, it’s time for the ground beef! Cook it until it’s browned, breaking it up with a spoon. Say goodbye to pink meat!
  4. Mix in the crushed tomatoes, tomato paste, oregano, basil, salt, and pepper. Let this mixture bubble and simmer for about 20 minutes. The smell will start to make you question why you don’t make this every day!
  5. While that lovely sauce is cooking, boil a large pot of salted water. Cook your spaghetti according to the package instructions. We want it just right: al dente, a.k.a. “to the tooth.” Not mushy, please!
  6. Once both your pasta and sauce are ready, drain the spaghetti and combine it with that glorious meat sauce. Give it a good toss – like you’re in a pasta commercial!
  7. Serve with a sprinkle of Parmesan cheese and, possibly, a side of garlic bread if you’re feeling extra fancy. Dig in and enjoy!

Congratulations! You’ve made a restaurant-quality Spaghetti with Meat Sauce right at home! Time to dig in and revel in your culinary triumph!
