Ingredients

Instructions

1. Heat the olive oil in a 5-quart Dutch oven or deep skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef, break it up with a spatula, season with salt and pepper, and cook, stirring occasionally, about 5 minutes until cooked through. Spoon off excess fat if you like.
2. Add the diced onion and cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, for about 4 to 5 minutes until soft and translucent.
3. Stir in the garlic and cook 30 seconds until fragrant. Add the tomato paste and cook 1 minute, stirring constantly.
4. Stir in the oregano and basil, then add the crushed tomatoes, tomato sauce, and sugar. Bring to a boil, stirring to prevent splatter.
5. Reduce to a low simmer, partially cover, and cook 25 to 30 minutes, stirring occasionally, until thickened. Taste and adjust with salt (about 1/2 tsp), pepper, or sugar.
6. Serve the sauce over cooked spaghetti, topped with grated Parmesan and chopped parsley or basil if desired.
