Speedy Spaghetti

Ingredients

½ pound ground beef

1 small onion, chopped

2 (8 ounce) cans tomato sauce

1 ½ cups water

1 ½ teaspoons salt

1 teaspoon dried parsley

½ teaspoon black pepper

½ pinch dried basil

4 ounces uncooked spaghetti

Directions

Brown ground beef with onion in a large skillet over medium heat until all pink is gone; drain.

Stir in tomato sauce, water, salt, parsley, pepper, and basil; mix well. Heat until sauce boils. Break spaghetti in half and drop into the sauce a little at a time. Cover and turn to low.

Cook until spaghetti is tender, approximately 20 to 25 minutes. Stir occasionally to keep from sticking together or to the pan. Add water, 1/2 to 1 cup, if it starts to dry out and noodles are not cooked.
