Spaghetti Night

Instructions

1. Cook spaghetti according to package directions. Reserve about 1/2 cup of pasta water. Drain well. Set aside. 
2. Heat olive oil in a deep skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef and Italian sausage. Cook and stir for 6 to 8 minutes, breaking the meat into crumbles, until browned and cooked through. Drain excess grease if needed, leaving about 1 tablespoon in the pot for flavor.
3. Add the diced onion to the meat. Cook for 5 minutes or until softened and translucent. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute, just until fragrant.
4. Stir in the tomato paste and cook for 1 minute. Add Seasoning Mix, tomato sauce, diced tomatoes and 1/2 cup of water. Bring the sauce to a gentle boil. Reduce the heat to low. Cover partially and simmer for 25 to 30 minutes, stirring every 5 to 10 minutes.
5. Toss the cooked spaghetti with the sauce, adding a splash of reserved pasta water if needed to loosen the sauce. Sprinkle with Parmesan and parsley, if desired.
