Spaghetti & Meat Sauce
/This warm and hearty plate of Extra Meaty Sauce & Spaghetti uses the Delecticious Extra Meaty Marinara Sauce recipe. It makes a big batch you can then use for recipes like this, or Cheesy Meaty Lasagna, and even Easy Peasy Baguette Pizza Bites.
INGREDIENTS
Fresh Spaghetti (4.5 ounces): Tender, silky noodles that cook in minutes and soak up every drop of that meaty sauce. Store‑bought Buitoni works beautifully, or go homemade if you prefer.
Salt (1–2 tablespoons): The secret to flavorful pasta. Salting the water properly seasons the noodles from the inside out.
Meaty Marinara (1 cup): Your star of the show — rich, hearty, and loaded with savory depth. Use the Delecticious version for maximum flavor or your favorite jarred marinara in a pinch.
Parmesan Cheese (2 tablespoons, grated): A salty, nutty finish that melts into the warm pasta and ties everything together.
Fresh Parsley (dash, finely diced): A bright, fresh pop that wakes up the whole bowl and adds a little color on top.
HOW TO MAKE IT
This simple classic spaghetti and meat sauce dish is great for a weekday dinner when you have little time or are just plain tired. Simply cook the fresh pasta, warm the sauce, mix together and serve! Add this baked buttery French bread for dipping. Yum!

Ingredients
Instructions
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the pasta and stir right away to prevent sticking. Fresh pasta cooks fast, so keep an eye on it.
- When the pasta reaches your preferred doneness, drain it and reserve 1/2 cup of the cooking water.
- Return the pasta to the pot, pour in the marinara sauce, and toss to coat. Add a splash of the reserved pasta water as needed to loosen the sauce.
- Divide into serving bowls and finish with Parmesan and fresh parsley.
