Instructions

1
In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the chopped onion and green bell pepper and cook until softened.
2
Add the ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it up with a spoon. Drain off any excess grease.
3
Stir in the tomato paste and cook for one minute.
4
Add the chili powder, paprika, dried thyme, red pepper flakes, and dried chives. Season with salt and pepper and stir to combine.
5
Pour in the Worcestershire sauce and the can of diced tomatoes with their juices. Stir everything together.
6
Bring the sauce to a simmer, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and let it cook for at least 20 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
7
While the sauce simmers, cook the spaghetti according to package directions until al dente.
8
Drain the cooked spaghetti and add it directly to the pot with the meat sauce. Use tongs to toss until the pasta is well-coated.
9
Serve immediately, topped with crumbled bacon, freshly grated Parmesan cheese, and chopped fresh parsley.
