Easy And Delicious Spaghetti Sauce with Ground Beef Recipe
Easy And Delicious Spaghetti Sauce with Ground Beef Recipe
Ingredients
- 1 pound lean ground beef
- 1 green bell pepper, diced
- 1 yellow onion diced
- 3-4 cloves garlic minced
- 1 large can diced tomatoes (28 oz , fire roasted even better)
- 1 small can tomato sauce (14 oz)
- 1 smal can tomato paste (6 oz)
- ¼ teaspoon chilli pepper flakes (optional)
- 1 tablespoon dried oregano
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1 tablespoon dried basil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
1. Brown the beef in a skillet over medium-high heat until just cooked brown. Drain off the excess fat.
2. Add the onions, garlic and pepper and saute with the meat until the onions are soft and translucent.
3. Add all the remaining ingredients, stir well and bring to the boil. Turn down the heat to simmer and cook for around 30 minutes.
Cook your past as directed but follow these important steps:
1. Once the pasta is done DO NOT DRAIN. Take a cup of the pasta water and mix it into the pasta sauce.
2. Take a cup of cold water and put it into the pasta pot (this will stop any remaining cooking).
3. Serve the pasta using tongs to pull up the noodles form the pot of water and hold them to drip dry before plating.
Liberally scoop on some of the pasta sauce and then top with freshly grated parmesan cheese.

That looks delicious! I can’t wait to try it!
Yes! Thanks for this. Making it for dinner this week ❤️
Very similar to mine, I do add marjoram and Italian herbs too as well. Was is the secret to putting some of the pasta water into the sauce?
The salty, starchy water not only adds flavor but helps glue the pasta and sauce together; it will also help thicken the sauce.
Thanks Angela 🙂
Spaghetti is a classic and a favourite in my house.

This looks great. I am always on the look out for simple and easy ragu recipes (that do not include pork); I can see I can alter and adapt this one with more veggies (like diced celery and onions). Thanks!

Keep comin back to this recipe—now I’m craving spaghetti.
This is one of my favourite foods. My mom used to make it when we were young, and it’s all about the vegetables.
This recipe is so delicious I love making homade spaghetti sauce
I always put ground beef in my spaghetti sauce . I find it to plain without it . I will definitely have to try this recipe though , I’ve never tried it with basil and oregano.
As spaghetti is my favorite meal and since I’ve turned to plant-based eating I had to find away to make this work. So now I substitute tofu for the ground beef and I make my own non-dairy parm cheese.
Spaghetti sauce is a big deal in our house (my nana made it and that’s how it has to be or it’s a little bit of a crisis 😬) and not sure how the fam will feel about trying something new but I’m going to see what happens lol it sounds great
This is my all time favourite meal.

Spaghetti is a family favourite here. I’ll have to give this recipe a try!
