MY DAD'S SPAGHETTI
Steps:
- You need to start by doing the following in parallel: brown the hamburger and make the sauce. In a large saute pan (I recommend 5 quart) start browning the hamburger on low to medium heat. Be careful not to over-brown it before you dump in the sauce. In a 2.5qt sauce pan start warming up the Tomato Sauce and Paste. Warm up and stir the paste until it breaks down. Add in the spices and just keep stirring it together. Make sure the hamburger doesn't over-brown! Once you don't see any pink in the hamburger, dump in the sauce and mix together. You want to simmer this, and stir occasionally for at least 10-15 minutes. This is one of those things where the longer you simmer the better. You can add small amounts of water to keep it moist if it dries out. You can start boiling your water for the noodles any time. At sea level, spaghetti noodles take me exactly 12 minutes to cook. Make sure you add Olive Oil to the noodle water, and salt only after it's boiling. After the noodles are cooked, dump out drain, and rinse with cold water thoroughly. After rinsed, I usually run hot water over them to warm them up. Or sometimes I just put the pot back on the burner for a few seconds. Serve and enjoy! Thanks Dad.

Steps:
- Combine all ingredients in crock pot.
- Cook on high for 3-5 hours or low for 6-8 hours.
- Serve over spaghetti or pasta of choice.
Tips:
- Use high-quality ingredients: Fresh, high-quality ingredients will make a big difference in the taste of your spaghetti. Look for ripe tomatoes, firm pasta, and flavorful cheese.
- Don't overcook the pasta: Pasta should be cooked al dente, or slightly firm to the bite. Overcooked pasta will be mushy and bland.
- Use a good quality olive oil: Olive oil is an essential ingredient in Italian cuisine. Choose a good quality extra virgin olive oil for the best flavor.
- Add salt to the pasta water: Salting the pasta water helps to flavor the pasta and prevent it from sticking together.
- Don't rinse the pasta after cooking: Rinsing the pasta after cooking will remove the starch, which is essential for creating a creamy sauce.
- Use a large skillet: A large skillet will allow the sauce to coat the pasta evenly. A small skillet will make it difficult to stir the pasta and prevent it from sticking.
- Simmer the sauce: Simmering the sauce for a few minutes allows the flavors to meld and develop. Don't boil the sauce, as this will make it watery.
- Add the pasta to the sauce: Once the sauce is simmering, add the pasta and stir to coat. Cook for a few minutes, or until the pasta is heated through.
- Serve immediately: Spaghetti is best served immediately after it is cooked. Leftover spaghetti can be stored in the refrigerator for a few days, but it is best to reheat it gently before serving.
Conclusion:
Spaghetti is a classic Italian dish that is easy to make and can be enjoyed by people of all ages. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can create a delicious and satisfying meal that the whole family will love. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy dinner idea, give spaghetti a try. You won't be disappointed!
