Cooking Instructions
- 1
Begin by putting a large pasta pot full of water on high heat to boil.
- 2
In the meantime dice the onion and slice the mushrooms. Set aside.
- 3
Place a skillet (10-12 in.) on med-hi heat, add the ground beef in a even layer to the skillet and spinkle evenly with garlic powder, onion powder, salt, pepper, and italian seasoning. Brown the seasoned ground beef and break into crumbles with a spatula. (a potato masher works great here also!) Once brown, drain off any excess fat drippings.
- 4
Turn heat on ground beef crumbles to low-med and add the Tomato suace, Tomato paste, (diced tomatoes if using), and McCormick seasoning package. Stir or whisk sauce until blended, cover and simmer until needed. Stirring occasionally.
- 5
By now your pasta water should be boiling. Add the 1tbls. of salt to the pasta water and stir, then add spaghetti pasta and stir to prevent sticking. Do Not add oil to your pasta water as this will make the pasta repel your sauce! Continue stirring occasionally to prevent sticking and cook according to timing on package, usually about 10 minutes.
- 6
While your pasta cooking: In a small skillet heat oil or butter and add onions. Sweat the onions until translucent. Next add mushrooms and garlic and saute until tender. place in a small bowl to serve on side (I have pickey eaters) or add to sauce if desired.
- 7
Once your spaghetti is cooked to aldente or desired tenderness, drain off the water. Do Not rinse your pasta, you will rinse away the startches that help hold the sauce to it!
- 8
Remove sauce from heat.
- 9
In a large serving bowl pour half your sauce into the bottom of your bowl, next pour in spaghetti pasta, then top with remaining sauce. Toss sauce and spaghetti together with tongs until all pasta is coated and sauce is incorporated.
- 10
To serve: place pasta in a nest on plate. Top with optional parmesean cheese and herbs if desired and serve with recommended sides.

[Midnight Diner] Simple Version of Napolitan Spaghetti [Midnight Diner] Simple Version of Napolitan Spaghetti
After watching Midnight Diner, I wanted to make all the dishes featured in it.In Midnight Diner, it says that the ingredients for Napolitan Spaghetti are onions and ham, with mushrooms added for a modern touch, and most importantly, green bell peppers. When I saw the green bell peppers in the picture, I knew I had to make this dish because I love green bell peppers.TipsMake sure to sauté the ingredients until fragrant before adding the spaghetti and tomato sauce.Since I'm not a big fan of ham, I used half ham and added a bit of sausage. If you want to keep it simple, just use one of them.For those who like it spicy, adding Tabasco at the end is a great idea!
