**scroll all the way down for full printable recipe**
- In a large pot or skillet with tall sides , add onions, garlic, and ground beef and cook for 6-8 minutes, or until beef is cooked through; use a wooden spatula to break apart while cooking. Drain off the fat.
- Next add tomato paste, broth, water, oregano, basil, black pepper; whisk well to combine ingredients and bring to a boil.
- Add spaghetti and lightly press down so sauce comes over it. Lightly stir it every few seconds, so that spaghetti combines with sauce and meat.
- Cover the pot and simmer for 15-20 minutes or until spaghetti is cooked through and sauce has thickened.
- Serve immediately topped with fresh parmesan cheese and basil if desired.
TIPS for cooking One Pot Spaghetti:
- Get yourself a skillet/pot like the one I have – it’s amazing.
- No longer do I have to use a HUGE pot, and worry about washing it, nor do I have to squeeze everything into my shallow sided skillet and have the sauce bubble over – this high side skillet is seriously made for these one pot pasta dishes.
- Be sure to stir the food every 3-4 minutes while simmering. Otherwise it will get stuck to the bottom of the pan. Use low/medium heat once you are simmering.
- Reheating is easy: Add to a microwave safe bowl and cook for 1 minute. Stir and cook another 30 seconds or until heated through.
- Use Homemade Marinara Sauce because it is so tasty!
