๐ŸŒฟ 1 teaspoon dried basil
๐ŸŒถ๏ธ 1/2 teaspoon paprika
๐ŸŒฟ 1/4 cup fresh parsley (chopped)

๐Ÿง€ 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
๐Ÿง„ 1 clove garlic (minced)
๐ŸŒฟ 2 tablespoons fresh chopped parsley
๐Ÿง‚ Salt and pepper to taste


Instructions

1- Prepare the Spaghetti:

  • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the spaghetti noodles and cook until al dente according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.

2- Cook the Sausage and Vegetables:

  • In a large cast-iron pan, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the sliced sausage and cook until browned on both sides. Transfer to a plate and set aside.
  • In the same pan, add the chopped onion and red bell pepper. Sautรฉ until the onion is translucent and the pepper is softened, about 5 minutes.

3- Cook the Ground Beef:

  • Add the ground beef to the pan with the vegetables and cook until browned. Season with salt, pepper, garlic powder, oregano, paprika, and basil. Stir well to combine.
  • Return the sausage to the pan, add half of the chopped parsley, and set the mixture aside.

4- Prepare the Tomato Sauce:

  • In a large saucepan, heat the remaining tablespoon of olive oil. Add the minced garlic, and sautรฉ briefly until fragrant.
  • Pour in the marinara sauce, add bay leaves, and season with oregano and garlic powder. Stir and let the sauce simmer for about 10 minutes on low heat.

5- Combine and Simmer:

  • Add the meat and vegetable mixture to the tomato sauce. Stir to combine and let simmer for another 10 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.

6- Prepare the Ricotta Mixture:

  • In a bowl, mix together ricotta cheese, mozzarella cheese, minced garlic, fresh parsley, salt, and pepper. Set aside.

7- Serve:

  • Plate the spaghetti noodles and top with the rich meat sauce. Add a generous scoop of the ricotta-cheese mixture on top. Garnish with fresh parsley for a final touch.
