Ingredients
  

  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 12 ounces spaghetti
  • 1 medium onion diced
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 can 14.5 ounces diced tomatoes, undrained
  • 1 cup beef broth
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • Fresh basil leaves for garnish (optional)

Method
 

  1. In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and cook until translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
  2. Add the minced garlic and ground beef to the pot. Cook until the beef is browned, breaking it apart with a spoon, about 5-7 minutes. Drain excess fat if necessary.
  3. Stir in the diced tomatoes (with juice), beef broth, Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Bring the mixture to a boil.
  4. Add the spaghetti to the pot, ensuring it is submerged in the liquid. Reduce heat to a simmer, cover, and cook for 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the pasta is al dente.
  5. Once the spaghetti is cooked, stir in the heavy cream and grated Parmesan cheese. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the sauce is creamy and heated through.
  6. Remove from heat and let it sit for a few minutes to thicken. Serve hot, garnished with fresh basil if desired.
