One-Skillet Spaghetti
Make this easy supper all in one pan—no muss, no fuss. Italian sausage and good canned plum tomatoes make the quick-simmered sauce taste fresh, tangy, and authentic.
4 servings
- Brown the beef and sausage in a 12-inch skillet (use one that has a lid) over medium heat, breaking up the meat with a spoon. Drain off any excess accumulated fat.
- Stir in the olive oil, tomato paste, garlic, and optional crushed red pepper flakes. Add the tomatoes and their juice, water, broken spaghetti, oregano, salt, and pepper, and stir well. Bring to a boil, reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer 15 to 20 minutes, or until the spaghetti is al dente. Sprinkle with Parmesan and basil, and serve.
