One-Pot Spaghetti Supper |
A family favourite made easier by combining the sauce and pasta all in
one pot. No draining, no fuss, just a great meal for everyone to enjoy.
Ingredients
- 1 lb Extra-lean ground beef 500 g
- 2 cloves garlic, minced 2
- 1 onion, chopped 1
- 1 tbsp dried Italian herb seasoning 15 mL
- 3 cups Milk 750 mL
- 1 cup hot water (approx.) 250 mL
- 12 oz spaghetti, broken in half 375 g
- 3 cups pasta sauce (1 jar) 750 mL
- 1 sweet red or green pepper, diced 1
- 1 tbsp balsamic or red wine vinegar 15 mL
- 1/4 cup 63 ml freshly grated Parmesan cheese or shredded Italian-blend cheese
- Fresh basil leaves (optional)
Directions
In large pot, brown beef over medium-high heat breaking up with a spoon; drain off fat. Add garlic, onion and herbs; cook, stirring, for about 3 min or until onion is tender. Add Milk and 1 cup (250 mL) water; bring to a simmer. Stir in broken spaghetti; return to simmer, stirring often.
Reduce heat, cover and simmer for about 5 min, stirring once, until spaghetti is wilted. Stir in pasta sauce and red pepper; cover and simmer, stirring often and adding more hot water if necessary to prevent sticking, for about 10 min longer or until pasta is tender. Stir in balsamic vinegar. Serve sprinkled with cheese. Garnish with basil (if using).
If you don’t have scales to measure the amount of spaghetti, gather a 1-1/2 inch (4 cm) diameter bundle of dry noodles; this should be about 12 oz (375 g).
