Spaghetti with tomato sauce is always a recipe for success. Is there anyone who’d turn down a plate of noodles piled high and dusted with cheese? Surely not, although adding some extra meat and veg certainly makes it all the more crave-able. Which is exactly what we’re doing: taking a tried-and-true Italian American classic and giving it hearty ground beef and bites of tender zucchini.

Instructions

Prep
1

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Wash and dry all produce. Quarter zucchini lengthwise, then cut crosswise into ½-inch pieces. Halve, peel, and dice onion. Mince garlic. Strip 2 tsp thyme leaves from stems; discard stems and roughly chop leaves.

Cook Beef
2

Heat a drizzle of olive oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add beef and cook, breaking up meat into pieces, until browned but not yet cooked through, 4-5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.

Cook Spaghetti
3

Once water is boiling, add spaghetti. Cook, stirring occasionally, until al dente, 9-11 minutes. Carefully scoop out and reserve ½ cup pasta cooking water, then drain.

Start Ragù
4

Add onion and zucchini to pan with beef. Cook, stirring, until softened, about 5 minutes. Stir in garlic, chopped thyme, soy sauce, and half the Italian Seasoning (use the other half as you like). Cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds.

Simmer Ragu
5

Add tomatoes and reserved pasta cooking water to pan. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and let simmer until thick and saucy, about 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. TIP: If you have time, let the ragù simmer longer. It’ll just get better!

Toss and Serve
6

Add spaghetti to pan with ragù and toss to combine. Divide between plates. Sprinkle with Parmesan. Drizzle with pepperolio (to taste).
