Ingredients
Scale
- 2 teaspoons olive oil
- 1 pound ground beef (lean, 90/10)
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning blend
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt, plus more, as needed to taste
- 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1 jar (24 to 32 ounces) spaghetti sauce or marinara
- 2 1/2 cups beef broth
- 8 ounces dry spaghetti
- 1/2 to 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese, optional
- 1/4 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese, for serving
- Fresh chopped basil or parsley, for serving
Instructions
- Heat the olive oil in a 4 to 5-quart sauté pan or chef’s pan over medium-high heat. Add the block of ground beef to the pan and let it cook undisturbed for 4 minutes, then use a spatula to break it up into smaller pieces.
- Continue cooking and stirring the beef until it is browned throughout, about 4 to 6 minutes. Drain and discard excess grease.
- Season the beef with garlic powder, Italian seasoning, 1/2 teaspoon of kosher salt, and pepper.
- Add the spaghetti sauce and beef broth and stir to blend. Bring the sauce mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to medium-low.
- Add the broken spaghetti to the pot and press it down into the juices so it is submerged.
- Cover the pan and cook, stirring every 5 to 6 minutes, until the liquids are absorbed and the spaghetti is al dente or as desired—about 14 to 18 minutes. Remove the lid for the last 2 to 3 minutes if it seems too saucy.
- Stir and serve with Parmesan cheese and fresh chopped basil or parsley.
