Mom’s Homemade Spaghetti with Meat Sauce ### Ingredients

1 pound of ground beef (or turkey, if you’re feeling virtuous)
1 medium onion, diced (because crying while cooking is a chef’s secret)
3 cloves garlic, minced (because who doesn’t want dragon breath?)
1 can (28 oz) crushed tomatoes (the magic potion for sauce)
2 tablespoons tomato paste (for extra tomato goodness)
1 teaspoon dried basil (so we can pretend we’re fancy)
1 teaspoon dried oregano (the herb that makes everything better)
Salt and pepper to taste (don’t go overboard unless you want your spaghetti to pack a punch)
12 oz spaghetti (the noodle of champions)
Grated Parmesan cheese (the cherry on top of your pasta masterpiece)

Instructions

In a large skillet over medium heat, brown the ground beef until it’s no longer pink. Drain any excess grease—save some for the gym later!
Add the diced onions and minced garlic to the meat, cooking until the onions are translucent and everyone in the neighborhood knows you’re making spaghetti.
Stir in the crushed tomatoes and tomato paste. Let that sizzle for a minute as you inhale the delicious aroma.
Add in the basil, oregano, salt, and pepper. Mix it up like a DJ at a party, letting all those flavors mingle.
Reduce the heat and let your sauce simmer for at least 30 minutes. The longer, the better—just like your favorite TV show!
While the sauce is having a party, cook the spaghetti according to package instructions. Don’t forget to add a sprinkle of salt to the water; it’s like a spa day for your noodles!
Drain the pasta and combine it with the glorious meat sauce. Mix it all together like you’re trying to solve the world’s problems—only this time, you’re creating dinner!
Serve hot, topped with grated Parmesan cheese. Don’t be shy; pile it on high!

And there you have it! A plateful of joy that’s sure to impress your friends, family, or anyone who happens to walk by your kitchen. Enjoy your meal, and remember, calories don’t count when you’re having fun!
