• 3 cups water
• 8 ounces spaghetti noodles, broken in half

How to make it

1. Place a large pot or deep skillet over medium high heat.
2. Add the ground beef and onion to the pot.
3. Cook until the beef is browned and the onion is soft, then drain any excess grease.
4. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for about one minute until fragrant.
5. Pour in the marinara sauce, water, and dried oregano, then stir well to combine.
6. Add the broken spaghetti noodles to the pot and push them down so they are mostly submerged in the liquid.
7. Bring the mixture to a gentle boil, then turn the heat down to low.
8. Simmer for about 12 to 15 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking, until the pasta is tender and the sauce has thickened.
