- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 yellow onion, diced (about 1 cup)
- 1 ½ teaspoons garlic, minced
- 1 can (28 ounces) crushed tomatoes
- 4 cups (32 ounces) chicken broth
- ½ cup (119g) heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- 2 teaspoons dried oregano
- 2 teaspoons dried basil
- 1 teaspoon granulated sugar
- ¼ teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes, optional
- 16 ounces spaghetti noodles
- fresh parsley, for garnish
- grated parmesan, for garnish
To a large Dutch oven or pot with a lid, add ground beef and onion. Cook on medium heat, uncovered, for about 5-10 minutes, or until beef is browned. Drain grease. Add garlic and cook for an additional minute, or until fragrant.
Add crushed tomato, broth, heavy cream, salt, pepper, oregano, basil, sugar, and red pepper flakes. Stir to combine.
Once combined, bring sauce to a boil over medium heat.
Once boiling, add spaghetti noodles in a criss cross pattern. (We like to break the noodles in half so they fit in the pot.) Reduce the heat to a simmer. Press the noodles under the liquid and cover with a lid. Simmer for 15-20 minutes, stirring every 5 minutes, or until noodles are al dente, making sure to cover the pot after stirring each time.
Serve warm, garnished with fresh parsley and grated parmesan.
