Spaghetti with Meat Sauce
I am allergic to canned spaghetti sauce! Well, maybe not really, but I just can’t eat spaghetti sauce out of a can or jar. This sauce is easy, and it is even better warmed over the next day, after the flavors have had a chance to settle in.

Ingredients
Preparation
Step 1
Put the ground beef, onion, and garlic in a medium saucepan and cook together over medium-high heat until the beef is browned and the onions are softened, about 10 minutes. Add the tomatoes and their juices, the tomato paste, 1 cup water, and the oregano, salt, and pepper. Simmer uncovered, stirring occasionally, for 1 hour.
Step 2
While the sauce simmers, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the spaghetti and cook until al dente, about 8 minutes, or according to package directions. Drain well and divide among plates. Spoon the sauce over the spaghetti and serve.
