Easy And Quick Spaghetti Recipes
Spaghetti is probably the most kid-friendly pasta recipeto ever exist! Serve this spaghetti with a side of Breadsticks and a fresh Salad – your whole family will be thanking you!
It seems like everyone I have ever met has “a spaghetti recipe” they know and love, and each one is different! Some have store-bought sauce, some homemade. Some have meat, some have veggies, and others don’t.
It just surprises me that they are all different, but I love that everyone has their own twist on this classic dinner recipe.
Instant Pot Spaghetti
We too have a favorite spaghetti recipe we’ve made for years and love. That’s probably why we make this spaghetti for dinner so often (we also have a great Baked Spaghetti and Chicken Spaghetti)!
It’s simple, easy to make, and always tastes delicious, and everyone likes it. And honestly, leftovers taste exactly the same heated up as if it was just made (my kind of leftover)!! I usually serve it with some Cheesy Garlic Bread for one delicious meal!
Our spaghetti recipe has a delicious sauce with just a hint of sweetness. The sauce takes some time since you simmer it for almost an hour, but I promise it’s worth it.
One Pot Spaghetti Recipe
SAUCE. Throw in salt, pepper, tomato sauce and paste, water (with the bouillon cubes in it or beef broth in the can), sugar, basil, oregano, and garlic. Simmer on low for an hour.
PASTA. A few minutes before the hour is up, cook the box of spaghetti noodles as directed on the package. Once the noodles are cooked, add them to the sauce and serve immediately.
We like to top our spaghetti with grated (or even shredded) Parmesan cheese and some fresh basil if desired. It truly is so delicious!
Dinner For One: Easy Pasta With Olive Oil & Garlic
Meatless option. If you would like a meatless version, cook the sauce without the hamburger, and just put a tablespoon of olive oil in the pan before adding any other ingredients. You can make Meatballs on the side if some people want the option to add meat!
I like to double this easy spaghetti recipe and cook it in a slow cooker. I store half of the sauce in the freezer for later! To make in a crock pot:
Acidity level.If you find the sauce to be more acidic than you’d like, try adding one of these for every 12 ounces of sauce:

Ground beef. I like to use 80/20 ground beef because it is so flavorful. Since it produces so much excess oil, I will drain it before adding the meat to the sauce. If you use lower-fat ground beef mixture you can choose to add in the excess oil or drain it.
Use ground turkey, ground chicken, or ground Italian sausage in place of ground beef. For added flavor, mince 1-2 garlic cloves and add them to the ground beef. Brown in a large skillet.
Fresh herbs. Use fresh herbs for great flavor. One teaspoon of dried herbs equals one tablespoon of fresh herbs. Dried herbs are added at the beginning of the cooking time, while fresh. herbs are added toward the end.

Using fresh tomatoes really adds great flavor. Making your own sauce adds about an hour to the cooking time but it is worth it!
STORE. Leftover homemade spaghetti can last in the fridge for 3-5 days if properly stored in an airtight container. To reheat quickly, microwave in 30-second increments, stirring in between, until hot.
If you have more time, reheat in the oven. Place into a baking dish, and cover with foil. Preheat the oven to 350°F and bake until hot. The actual baking time will depend on how much is being reheated.
The Best Homemade Spaghetti Sauce
Salting the pasta is a good way to infuse flavor directly into the pasta, but it is completely optional. To salt pasta: Add 1-1½ tablespoons of salt to the water for every pound of pasta you will be cooking. Add the salt just as the water comes to a boil, then add the pasta.
I typically only freeze the sauce to use later, as the pasta noodles are best when they are freshly boiled. However, you can successfully freeze the sauce and pasta together. See above for details.
Tomatoes are acidic in nature. To balance out the acidic taste in spaghetti sauce you can add sugar, shredded carrots or zucchini, sauteed onion or mushrooms, a pinch of baking soda, or top it with cheese.

While this can vary by how much pasta you are making, for 12 ounces I recommend 2 teaspoons of salt added to the water.
Don’t worry. You will not be eating 2 teaspoons of salt. Saltwater boils faster than unsalted water, it also adds a ton of flavor to the pasta and helps the spaghetti noodles keep from clumping together.
If you use white pasta, whole wheat pasta, or gluten free pasta, the time will be different. Always check the directions on your package. For this recipe, I used whole wheat spaghetti and cooked it for a total of 7 minutes.
