Viral Dirty Spaghetti is a rich, savory pasta made with seasoned ground beef, sautéed peppers and onions, and a thick, beefy tomato based sauce that coats every strand of spaghetti for the perfect bite.

Ingredients

Olive Oil
2 tbsp
Onion
½ c
Green Bell Pepper
¼ c
Red Bell Pepper
¼ c
Garlic
3 clove
Ground Beef
1 lb
Tomato Paste
4 tbsp
Flour
4 tbsp
Beef Broth
3 c
Spaghetti
cooked in salted water, reserve 1 Cup of pasta water
1 lb
Salt and Pepper
Garlic Powder
1 tsp
Cajun Seasoning
1 tbsp

Directions

1
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium high heat and add the onion and bell pepper and sauté until softened, about 5–7 min. Add the ground beef and cook until browned. Drain any excess grease. Season the beef mixture with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and Cajun seasoning and stir well to combine.
2
Add the garlic and cook for about 1 minute until fragrant. Stir in the tomato paste and let it cook for 2–3 minutes to deepen the flavor. Sprinkle in the flour and stir continuously for 3–4 minutes to cook out the raw flour taste. Slowly pour in the beef broth, stirring constantly to avoid lumps.
3
Let the mixture simmer for about 5–8 minutes, or until it thickens into a rich, gravy like sauce. Add the cooked spaghetti directly into the skillet and toss until fully coated. If the sauce is too thick, slowly pour in the pasta water until it reaches the consistency you are looking for.
