Equipment

Ingredients

  • Pasta Sauce– 1 24 ounce jar or can. You could also use tomato sauce 3 eight ounce cans and add your own seasonings if you prefer.
  • Garlic– one clove cut or minced. You can omit this if you prefer to.
  • Water- 1 ½ cups.
  • Spaghetti– 1 sixteen ounce box uncooked. I suggest using a regular #5, normal sized spaghetti.
  • Mozzarella Cheese- 1 cup. You can vary the amount that you add or sub in a similar cheese.
  • Parmesan Cheese ½ cup. You can also sub in a similar cheese here as well.
  • Seasonings such as salt, pepper, etc.- as desired

Instructions

  • If you are adding meat to your sauce, cook the meat as described above until browned. Then drain the meat and set it aside.
  • Add the sauce and the garlic to the skillet and heat this on medium heat.Also, add any additional seasonings at this time. When it becomes warm, about 2-3 minuets, stir in the water.
  • Turn the heat up to medium high and bring the contents of the skillet to a boil. When the skillet begins to boil, stir in the pasta (you can break it up) and cover. Reduce the heat to a low setting and allow the pasta to cook, stirring occasionally to prevent the pasta from sticking and the sauce from burning. You can also stir in the meat at this time or stir the meat in after the pasta has finished cooking.If the sauce begins to dry out too quickly, you can add a bit more water as needed. The Spaghetti should be done or tender in about 15-18 minutes.
  • Remove the skillet from the heat and top or with or stir in your cheese and any optional meat if you desire to add the meat here.

Recipe Notes

Nutritional Data Is Dependent on the Ingredients that you use.
I  love that this entire recipe can be made in one skillet. You should use a large skillet that can handle all of the ingredients that will be used however. I recommend at least a 12 inch skillet for this recipe.
Also, using meat is optional in this recipe. 
If you will be using meat in your sauce, cook the meat in the skillet fully before making the pasta. For example, if you are using beef, cook it over medium heat until it is broken up and browned. Then remove the meat, drain it and gently wipe away excess remaining fat with a paper towel if needed. You could also use an easy cheat by adding precooked meatballs to your skillet.
