Cooking Steps
- Add spaghetti to the boiling water. Cook uncovered, stirring occasionally, until tender, 10-12 min.
- Reserve 1/4 cup (1/2 cup) pasta water, then drain and return pasta to the same pot, off heat.
- Meanwhile, heat a large non-stick pan over medium-high heat.
- When hot, add 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) oil, then the mirepoix. Cook, stirring occasionally, until tender-crisp, 2-3 min.
- Season with salt and pepper.
- Meanwhile, core, then cut pepper into 1/2-inch pieces.
- Add peppers and 1/2 tbsp (1 tbsp) oil to an unlined baking sheet. Season with salt and pepper, then toss to combine. Roast in the middle of the oven, stirring halfway through, until tender, 14-15 min.
- Add beef to pan. Cook, breaking up beef into smaller pieces, until no pink remains, 4-5 min.** Add half the Italian Seasoning (use all for 4 ppl) and cook, stirring often, until beef and veggies are coated, 1 min.
- Season with salt and pepper.
- Add reserved pasta water and crushed tomatoes to the pan with beef mixture.
- Reduce heat to medium.
- Cook, stirring occasionally, until slightly reduced, 2-4 min.
- Remove from heat.
- Pour sauce over spaghetti in the large pot, then add 2 tbsp (4 tbsp) butter. Add roasted peppers.
- Season with salt and pepper. Stir to combine.
- Divide spaghetti between bowls, then sprinkle Parmesan over top.
