Struggle spaghetti aka "Sketti" is one of my favorite meals to make in a pinch. Doctor it up as seen here, or, just cook the pasta and mix with a jar of sauce. Either way, this is inexpensive and super simple.

Step 1

Prep the vegetables. Dice the yellow onion and green bell pepper. Meanwhile, bring a pot of salted water to a boil.

Step 2

In a sauté pan, heat up 2 tbsp of olive oil and sauté the onion and bell pepper for 4-5 minutes. Add the ground beef and break up and brown. Season with salt, black pepper, 2 tsp of dried basil, 1 tsp of dried oregano, and 1 tsp of crushed red pepper flakes.

Step 3

Cook the spaghetti until al dente, drain, then mix with the jar of marinara sauce. Add the beef, onion, and bell pepper mixture.

Step 4

Serve with with a slice of Texas toast and parmesan cheese.

Kitchen countertop with packages of Texas toast garlic bread, De Cecco spaghetti, ground beef, green bell pepper, onion, and various condiments and herbs.
