One-Pot Spaghetti with Meat Sauce

Heat olive oil in a large, deep skillet or pot over medium-high heat.

Add the diced onion and bell pepper and sauté until softened, about 3-5 minutes.

Add the ground beef and sweet Italian sausage to the pot. Use a meat chopper or spoon to break it up and cook until browned.

Stir in the Worcestershire sauce, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, onion powder, and minced garlic. Cook for another minute until fragrant.

Pour in the chicken broth and crushed tomatoes. Add the tomato paste if using, and stir to combine.

Cover the pot and bring the sauce to a boil.

Add the spaghetti noodles to the pot, breaking them in half if desired. Submerge them in the liquid as much as possible.

Cover the pot again, reduce the heat to a simmer, and cook for about 10-15 minutes, or until the pasta is al dente. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.

Once the pasta is cooked through, give it a final stir to combine everything.

Serve hot, garnished with grated Parmesan cheese and fresh parsley if desired.
