If you’re looking for a delicious dinner that takes less than 30 minutes to prepare, look no further. This Spaghetti and Spicy Meat Sauce recipe is perfect for a busy night or even Sunday dinner with the family.

My family loves Spaghetti and I try to serve it a couple of times a month. Spaghetti and Spicy Meat Sauce is our go to recipe. It’s simple to throw it together and it doesn’t take long to cook making it perfect for late nights after sports or evening activities.

We also like to to top spaghetti with a variety of sauces and occasionally use meat other than ground beef, like our Spaghetti and Sausage Meatballs recipe.

Spaghetti is such a versatile ingredient and there are so many different ways to make it. Plus, you can pick up a package for less than a dollar at most grocery stores.

It doesn’t get any better than that!

Use this meat sauce on any pasta you like, it doesn’t have to be just spaghetti. Try it on angel hair, linguine, lasagna or even ravioli.

Or better yet, butter some bread and dip it in…who needs pasta?!
