Instead of opening a jar of sauce, try this easy spaghetti with meat sauce on a weeknight.

Serve with steamed broccoli and garlic bread.

The recipe makes enough for 8 servings.

Spaghetti with Quick Meat Sauce

If you’re serving only four for dinner, cook 8 ounces of spaghetti and freeze the leftover sauce.

Cook pasta until just tender, 8 to 10 minutes or according to package directions.

Meanwhile, heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat.

Stir in garlic and Italian seasoning; cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds.

Increase heat to high.

Stir in tomatoes and cook until thickened, 4 to 6 minutes.

Stir in parsley and salt.

Serve the sauce over the pasta, sprinkled with cheese.
