Spaghetti with rich meat sauce is a classic and hearty dish that's perfect for family dinners or special occasions. This recipe combines aromatic onions, flavorful ground beef, and a rich pasta sauce to create a comforting meal. The use of olive oil adds a hint of richness, while the al dente pasta serves as the perfect vehicle for the savory sauce.
Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Finely chop the onion.
- Measure out the olive oil, ground beef, pasta, and pasta sauce.
- Fill a large pot with water and bring it to a boil.
- Add a pinch of salt to the boiling water.
- Add the pasta and cook according to the package instructions until al dente.
- Drain the pasta and set aside.
- Heat the olive oil in a large skillet or saucepan over medium heat.
- Add the chopped onion and sauté until it becomes soft and translucent, about 5 minutes.
- Add the ground beef to the skillet. Use a wooden spoon to break up the meat into small pieces. Cook until the beef is browned and no longer pink, about 8-10 minutes.
- Drain any excess fat from the skillet if necessary.
- Once the beef is browned, pour in the pasta sauce.
- Stir well to combine.
- Lower the heat and let the sauce simmer for 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally. This allows the flavors to meld together and the sauce to thicken slightly.
- Divide the cooked pasta between plates or bowls.
- Ladle the rich meat sauce over the pasta.
- Garnish with grated Parmesan cheese, fresh basil, or parsley if desired.
- Serve the spaghetti with rich meat sauce immediately, while it's hot.
Tips:
- For a deeper flavor, cook the sauce on a low simmer for an additional 20-30 minutes.
- Add a pinch of sugar to the meat sauce if you find it too acidic.
- Try garnishing with freshly grated Parmesan cheese and chopped fresh basil for extra flavor.
- Cook the pasta al dente, meaning it should still have a bit of a bite when you take it off the heat.
Cooking a delicious Spaghetti with rich meat sauce doesn’t have to be complicated. With just a few quality ingredients and a little bit of time, you can create a flavorful meal that is sure to satisfy. Remember to adjust the seasoning to your taste and add your favorite garnishes to make the dish even more special. Buon appetito!
