Let’s Cook!
Making the Sauce
Brown the ground beef in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic, cooking until the onions are translucent and the beef is cooked through. Drain any excess grease.
Transfer the beef mixture to your slow cooker. Add the crushed tomatoes, tomato sauce, tomato paste, basil, oregano, sugar, salt, and pepper. Stir well. Cover and cook on low for 6-8 hours.
Cooking the Spaghetti
When the sauce is ready, cook the spaghetti according to package directions. Drain and return the pasta to the pot. Add the sauce, tossing gently to coat.
Serve immediately, topped with Parmesan cheese.
Variations
Vegetarian
Omit the beef and add sautéed vegetables like mushrooms, bell peppers, and zucchini.
Spicy!
Add a pinch of red pepper flakes or a dash of hot sauce for a spicy kick.
