Spaghetti is one of my family’s favorite meals. This can be served multiple times in a month, and my family doesn’t get tired of it.

This takes just a few ingredients and very easy to make. I got this meal from an hour cooking time, down to just 30 minutes. You can save even more time if you have the ground beef already cooked. Then it’s just making the spaghetti noodles and throwing the sauce in a pot with the meat. How easy is that.

I love this recipe because after a long day at work you just don’t feel like cooking. This makes life easier when dinner can be made in minutes.

Just get the pasta water started first. To me this takes the longest. I cook the noodles till they are Al dente, because the sauce will finish cooking the pasta. This way the noodles are not saggy.

Start cooking the ground beef. By the time the meat is done so should the spaghetti noodles.

All that is left is the sauce. Add the sauce to a pot with the water and meat then season it up. Then put in spaghetti noodles let sit for a few minutes and done.

We like having garlic bread on the side. You can have salad or just simple bread and butter.
