Classic spaghetti and meat sauce is a timeless dish that brings comfort and satisfaction to the table. It's perfect for a family dinner or a gathering with friends. By following this recipe, you'll create a savory meal that balances well-cooked pasta with a rich, flavorful meat sauce. Let’s get started on making this delicious classic!
- Use high-quality pasta sauce or make your own for the best flavor.
- Cook the pasta al dente, according to the package instructions, to ensure it holds up well when mixed with the sauce.
- Select ground beef that has a good balance of meat and fat (80/20%) for a flavorful meat sauce.
- Brown the ground beef thoroughly to bring out its natural flavors before adding the pasta sauce.
- Simmer the meat sauce for at least 20 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
- Add a pinch of sugar to the sauce if it's too acidic. This helps balance the flavors.
- Reserve some pasta water to adjust the consistency of the sauce if needed.
- Stir the pasta into the sauce rather than just pouring the sauce on top. This helps the pasta absorb the flavors.
Congratulations! You've successfully prepared a classic spaghetti and meat sauce that is sure to be a hit with everyone. Serve it hot, topped with parmesan cheese and fresh basil if you like. Enjoy your meal and the happiness it brings to your table.
