Equipment
- 1 Dutch Oven with a lid or a large pot with lid
Ingredients
- 1 pound extra-lean ground beef
- 1 yellow onion diced (about 1 cup)
- 1 ½ teaspoons garlic minced
- 1 can 28 ounces crushed tomatoes
- 4 cups chicken broth 32 ounces
- ½ cup 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 I used whole wheat noodles for less calories
- fresh parsley for garnish
- grated Parmesan for garnish
Instructions
- 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. You could break the noodles in half so they fit in the pot.) Reduce the heat to a simmer. Submerge 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.
