Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 6 servings

  • 1 pound lean ground beef

  • 1 large onion, chopped

  • 2 cloves garlic, minced

  • 1 (14 ounce) can tomato sauce

  • 1 (14 ounce) can petite diced tomatoes

  • 2 cups water

  • 1 tablespoon chili powder

  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano

  • 1 teaspoon ground black pepper

  • 7 ounces whole wheat spaghetti

  • ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese, or to taste (Optional)

Directions

  1. Heat a Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Cook and stir ground beef, onion, and garlic until beef is browned and crumbly and onion is translucent, 5 to 7 minutes. Drain and discard excess grease.

  2. Stir in tomato sauce, diced tomatoes, water, chili powder, oregano, and black pepper. Bring to a boil. Cover, reduce heat, and let simmer, stirring often, for about 30 minutes.

  3. Break spaghetti into thirds and add to the pot; cover and simmer, stirring often, until pasta is tender, about 20 minutes. Serve topped with Parmesan cheese.
