Ingredients
1
lb
90% ground beef
3/4
teaspoon
kosher salt
1/4
cup
diced onion
3
cloves
minced garlic
1
28 ounce
can crushed tomatoes
(I love Tuttorosso)
black pepper
(to taste)
2
cups
water
4
torn basil leaves
(plus optional more for garnish)
10
ounces
wheat or gluten-free spaghetti
(broken in half (I love Delallo))
Grated parmesan cheese
(optional for serving)
Instructions
Heat a large heavy pot or Dutch oven over high heat. (If your pot is not heavy, the sauce may burn.)
When hot add the beef and salt and cook, breaking up about 3 minutes.
Add the onions, and garlic and cook until softened, 3 to 4 minutes.
Add the crushed tomatoes, black pepper, water and basil and stir, add the spaghetti, making sure the liquid covers everything without stirring.
Cover and cook medium-low heat (do not open) until the water is absorbed and the pasta is cooked, about 17 to 20 minutes.
Serve topped with grated cheese if desired!
