INGREDIENTS:

• 1/2 pound lean ground beef
• 1/4 cup chopped
• pinch ground hot pepper
• 1 teaspoon dried leaf basil, crumbled
• 1/2 teaspoon dried leaf oregano, crumbled
• 2 1/2 cups water
• 1 1/2 cups marinara sauce or your favorite spaghetti sauce
• 12 ounces spaghetti, broken in half
• freshly ground black pepper
• 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese

PREPARATION:

In a large saucepan or Dutch oven, combine the ground beef, onion, cayenne pepper, basil, and oregano. Cook, stirring to break up meat, until browned, about 5 minutes. Drain off any excess grease.

Add 2 1/2 cups water, the spaghetti sauce, and spaghetti; bring to a boil, stirring frequently. Cover, reduce heat to low, and cook, stirring frequently, until the spaghetti is just tender and most of the liquid is absorbed, about 15 minutes.

Turn off the heat and let pan stand, covered, 5 minutes. Season with pepper to taste and serve sprinkled with the cheese.
Serves 4.
