Cook the Spaghetti:
- Boil Water: While the sauce simmers, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.
- Cook the Spaghetti: Add the spaghetti to the boiling water and cook according to the package instructions until al dente. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
- Drain the Pasta: Once the spaghetti is cooked, drain it in a colander. Avoid rinsing the pasta to ensure the sauce clings to it better.
Serve:
- Combine and Serve: You can either mix the spaghetti with the meat sauce in the pot or serve the spaghetti on plates and spoon the sauce over the top.
- Garnish: Sprinkle with freshly chopped basil and, if desired, grated Parmesan cheese.
