with Meat Sauce A kid-approved red sauce with ground beef. | 2 Servings
Got things to do? People to see? This time-saving spaghetti dinner is a crowd-pleasing family fave! All you have to do is whip up a super-quick marinara-based meat sauce and toss in tender noodles. If you’ve got some on hand, sprinkle on some Parmesan (not included) for some extra-tasty flare! *Nutrition values are representative of a 1/2 bundle serving.*
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Once boiling, add spaghetti to pot. Cook, stirring occasionally, until al dente, 9-11 minutes. Reserve ¼ cup pasta cooking water, then drain.
While spaghetti cooks, heat a drizzle of oil in a large, preferably nonstick, pan over medium-high heat. Add ground beef, Italian Seasoning, and a pinch of salt and pepper; cook breaking up meat into pieces, until browned and cooked through, 4-6 minutes. Stir in marinara and cook until sauce is slightly thickened, 2-3 minutes more. Remove pan from heat.
Add drained spaghetti and stir to combine, adding splashes of reserved pasta water as needed until pasta is thoroughly coated in sauce. Divide between bowls and serve.
Ground Beef is fully cooked when internal temperature reaches 160°.
