Equipment

1 Dutch oven or large, deep pan with sides

Ingredients

1 lb ground beef I use 80/20, any type works
1/2 white/yellow onion chopped
3 garlic cloves minced
1 tsp Italian seasoning
1 tsp salt more to taste
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp onion powder
1/2 tsp pepper
1 24 oz Jar marinara sauce your favorite!
4 cups chicken broth or beef
1 cup heavy cream
1 lb spaghetti, uncooked
Parmesan cheese for topping

Instructions

In a large stock pot/Dutch oven on medium-high heat, add ground beef, onion, garlic, Italian seasoning, salt, pepper, garlic powder and onion powder. Cook, mixing occasionally, until the ground beef is browned (about 7 minutes).
Stir in marinara sauce, chicken broth and heavy cream. Add uncooked spaghetti and be sure it is covered in the liquid as it begins to soften.
Cover and bring to a boil on medium-high heat. Stir occasionally so nothing sticks to the bottom of the pan.
Cook until pasta is al dente and sauce has thickened.
Serve with fresh cheese and enjoy!
