Ingredients

Scale
  • Cooking spray, to prevent sticking
  • Kosher salt, for flavoring
  • 1 lb. spaghetti
  • 2 Tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1 medium yellow onion, finely chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
  • 1 lb. ground beef
  • 1 tsp. Italian seasoning
  • Freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 (28-oz.) can crushed tomatoes
  • 1 (8-oz.) can tomato sauce
  • 1/2 cup fresh basil leaves, chopped
  • 2 cups shredded mozzarella

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F. Grease a 13″ x 9″ baking dish with cooking spray.
  2. In a large pot of boiling salted water, cook the spaghetti until al dente according to package directions. Drain and set aside.

  4. Add the ground beef, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Cook until the meat is no longer pink, about 8 minutes.
  5. Pour in the crushed tomatoes, tomato sauce, and basil. Simmer for about 10 minutes, adjusting seasoning as desired.
