Variations & Tips
For a healthier twist, use ground turkey or chicken instead of ground beef. To add some veggies to the dish, sauté bell peppers, mushrooms, or spinach along with the onions and garlic. If you have picky eaters, consider making a half-and-half version with plain spaghetti on one side and the full sauce mix on the other. For extra flavor, you can mix in a bit of ricotta cheese with the pasta before baking.
