Ingredients
  

  • 2 lb. ground beef
  • 1/2 onion finely chopped
  • 4 garlic cloves mashed
  • 2 cans tomatoes chopped
  • 3/4 c. tomato paste
  • 2 tsp. salt
  • 2 tsp. black pepper
  • 2 tsp. paprika
  • 2 tsp. basil
  • 2 tbsp. oregano

Instructions
 

  • Brown the ground beef in a frying pan on medium heat. Add half of the spices to the ground beef while it cooks.
  • When the ground beef is fully cooked, add the canned tomatoes, tomato paste, onion, garlic, and the last half of the spices.
  • On a medium heat, bring to a simmer. Once at a simmer decrease the heat to low, let it continue to simmer while your spaghetti is cooking.
  • In a separate pot, cook your spaghetti. Bring the pot to a boil and add the spaghetti and let boil until softened. Follow the time limit on the packaging but make sure to taste it first before draining to make sure that it is soft enough to eat and to your liking.
  • Drain the spaghetti through a colander. Rinse the spaghetti under cold water. Return the spaghetti to the pot and drizzle a small amount of olive oil over top of the spaghetti and stir around to coat the spaghetti.
  • Sprinkle some parmesan or mozzarella on top of your spaghetti bolognese!
