Ingredients

• 1 ½ cups water
• 1 ½ teaspoons salt
• 1 teaspoon dried parsley
• 1 small onion, chopped
• 2 (8 ounce) cans tomato sauce
• ½ pound ground beef
• ½ teaspoon black pepper
• ½ pinch dried basil
• 4 ounces uncooked spaghetti

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Brown ground beef with onion in a large skillet over medium heat until all pink is gone; drain.

Step 2

Stir in tomato sauce, water, salt, parsley, pepper, and basil; mix well. Heat until sauce boils. Break spaghetti in half and drop into the sauce a little at a time. Cover and turn to low.

Step 3

Cook until spaghetti is tender, approximately 20 to 25 minutes. Stir occasionally to keep from sticking together or to the pan. Add water, 1/2 to 1 cup, if it starts to dry out and noodles are not cooked.
