Ingredients

Scale

Spaghetti

  • 8 ounces of spaghetti

Ground Chicken

  • 1 pound of ground chicken

Olive Oil

  • 2 tablespoons of olive oil

Onion

  • 1 medium onion, chopped

Garlic

  • 3 cloves of garlic, minced

Canned Tomatoes

  • 1 can (14 ounces) of canned tomatoes

Italian Seasoning

  • 1 tablespoon of Italian seasoning

Salt and Pepper

  • To taste

Instructions

  1. Cook the Pasta: Begin by boiling a large pot of salted water. Add the spaghetti and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside, reserving a bit of the pasta water.
  2. Sauté the Aromatics: In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add chopped onion and minced garlic, sautéing until softened and fragrant, about 3-4 minutes.
  3. Brown the Chicken: Add the ground chicken to the skillet, breaking it apart with a wooden spoon. Cook until browned and no longer pink, about 5-7 minutes.
  4. Add Tomatoes and Seasoning: Stir in the canned tomatoes and Italian seasoning. Bring the mixture to a simmer, allowing the flavors to meld for about 10 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  5. Combine with Pasta: Once the sauce has thickened, add the cooked spaghetti to the skillet. Toss everything together, adding reserved pasta water as needed to reach your desired sauce consistency.

Notes

  • Use Fresh Ingredients: Fresh herbs and high-quality canned tomatoes can elevate the flavor significantly.
  • Don’t Rush the Simmer: Allowing the sauce to simmer for a few extra minutes enhances the flavor depth.
  • Cook Pasta Separately: This helps prevent the spaghetti from becoming overly soggy.
  • Adjust Seasoning: Always taste and adjust the seasoning before serving for the best flavor.
  • Double the Recipe: Make a larger batch for leftovers or meal prep, as it stores well!
