Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a large skillet, heat a drizzle of olive oil over medium heat. Add ground beef, seasoning it with salt and black pepper. Brown the meat and cook for about 5-7 minutes until fully cooked. Toss in finely chopped onion and sauté until translucent, about 3 minutes. Drain any excess grease.
  2. With the beef and onion mixture ready, stir in tomato sauce and tomato paste. Add Italian seasoning, parsley flakes, garlic powder, and crushed red pepper flakes. Pour in Worcestershire sauce, granulated sugar, and water. Mix everything thoroughly.
  3. Bring the sauce to a gentle boil over medium-high heat, then reduce to low. Allow it to simmer uncovered for about 30 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  4. As the sauce nears completion, stir in a handful of fresh basil leaves and let them wilt for 2-3 minutes.
  5. Serve the sauce generously over al dente spaghetti noodles. Garnish with extra fresh basil leaves and Parmesan cheese if desired.

Notes

Taste the sauce and adjust seasonings to ensure the perfect flavor balance. For a vegetarian version, substitute the ground beef with diced zucchini or bell peppers. Allowing the sauce to simmer for the full time enhances the flavors.
