Ingredients

  • 12 ounces spaghetti (3/4 of a box)

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil

  • 1 large onion, chopped

  • 2 carrots, chopped

  • 2 cloves garlic, finely chopped

  • ¾ pound ground beef

  • ¾ teaspoon kosher salt

  • ½ teaspoon black pepper

  • 1 28-ounce can crushed tomatoes

  • ½ cup fresh flat-leaf parsley, chopped

  • ¼ cup grated Parmesan (1 ounce)

Directions
