Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 medium yellow onion, finely chopped
• 3 cloves garlic cloves, minced
• 1 pound ground beef
• 1 28-ounce can crushed tomatoes
• 2 tablespoons tomato paste
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• 1 teaspoon dried basil
• 0.5 teaspoons red pepper flakes (optional)
• 3 cups beef broth
• 12 ounces linguini
• 0.5 cups parmesan cheese, grated
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoons black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Heat the olive oil in a large, deep skillet over medium heat.

Step 2

Add the chopped onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes until softened. Add the minced garlic and cook for another 1 minute, stirring frequently.

Step 3

Add the ground beef to the skillet, breaking it up with a wooden spoon. Cook until browned and no longer pink, about 5-7 minutes. Drain excess fat if necessary.

Step 4

Stir in the crushed tomatoes, tomato paste, dried oregano, dried basil, red pepper flakes (if using), salt, and black pepper. Simmer for 3-4 minutes to blend the flavors.

Step 5

Pour in the beef broth and bring the mixture to a boil.

Step 6

Add the linguini to the skillet, ensuring the pasta is submerged in the liquid. Reduce the heat to medium-low and cook, stirring occasionally, for about 12-15 minutes, or until the pasta is tender and the sauce has thickened.

Step 7

Once the pasta is cooked, stir in the grated parmesan cheese. Adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed.

Step 8

Serve hot, garnished with chopped fresh parsley if desired.
