Ingredients

  • 1 lb ground beef or sausage
  • 1 onion diced
  • 2 tbsp garlic minced
  • 1 3/4 cup chicken broth
  • 3 1/4 cup spaghetti sauce
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 8 oz spaghetti whole or broken into pieces
  • 1/4 cup grated parmesan

Instructions

  • In a Dutch Oven, or a large pot, brown the meat with the onion. Drain.
    1 lb ground beef, 1 onion
  • Add garlic and let cook until fragrant, about one minute.
    2 tbsp garlic
  • Add broth, spaghetti sauce, and water. Bring to a boil.
    1 3/4 cup chicken broth, 3 1/4 cup spaghetti sauce, 1/2 cup water
  • Add spaghetti and reduce heat.
    8 oz spaghetti
  • Cook covered 17-20 minutes, or until the noodles are al dente, stirring occasionally. Add more water if needed.
  • Stir in parmesan cheese.
    1/4 cup grated parmesan

Notes

  • Don't care for ground beef? Substitute the same amount of ground turkey or ground sausage in its place.
  • You can add the pasta to the pot whole, but that will require more babysitting and stirring to make sure it doesn't stick together. Instead break the noodles in half before adding them to the pot.
  • To make it a meal serve with a side salad and homemade garlic knots or focaccia rolls.
