Tips:

  • Choose the right pasta. Spaghetti is the classic choice for this recipe, but you can also use other long pastas like linguine or fettuccine. If you prefer a shorter pasta, penne or rigatoni would also work well.
  • Use fresh vegetables. Fresh vegetables will give your sauce the best flavor. If you don't have fresh vegetables on hand, you can use frozen vegetables, but be sure to thaw them before using.
  • Brown the meat well. Browning the meat will help to develop its flavor and give the sauce a richer color. Be sure to brown the meat in a large skillet over medium-high heat so that it gets a good sear.
  • Simmer the sauce for at least 30 minutes. Simmering the sauce will help to develop the flavors and thicken it. Be sure to simmer the sauce over low heat so that it doesn't burn.
  • Season the sauce to taste. Once the sauce is simmered, taste it and adjust the seasonings as needed. You may want to add more salt, pepper, or herbs.

Conclusion:

This spaghetti with chunky meat and veggie sauce is a hearty, flavorful, and satisfying meal that is perfect for a weeknight dinner. The sauce is made with a variety of fresh vegetables, ground beef, and Italian seasoning, and it is simmered until it is thick and flavorful. The spaghetti is cooked al dente and tossed with the sauce, and the dish is served with a sprinkle of Parmesan cheese. This recipe is sure to please the whole family.
