# Ingredienti:

→ Main Ingredients

01 - 1 pound ground beef, 85% lean
02 - 1 medium onion, finely chopped
03 - 3 cloves garlic, minced
04 - 1 packet taco seasoning (about 1 ounce), low sodium preferred
05 - 2 cups beef broth
06 - 1 can (14.5 ounces) diced tomatoes, with juice
07 - 1 can (4 ounces) green chilies, drained
08 - 1 tablespoon soy sauce
09 - 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
10 - 2 cups shredded Mexican cheese blend
11 - 12 ounces spaghetti, regular or gluten-free
12 - Salt and pepper, to taste
13 - Fresh cilantro, chopped, for garnish

# Istruzioni:

01 - Boil salted water in a large pot. Add spaghetti and cook until al dente, about 8 to 10 minutes. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking. Drain without rinsing. Add a small amount of olive oil if not using immediately.
02 - Heat a deep skillet over medium-high heat. Add ground beef and chopped onion. Break up the meat and cook for 6 to 8 minutes until beef is no longer pink and onions are translucent. Drain excess fat if needed.
03 - Add minced garlic and taco seasoning to the skillet. Stir continuously for 1 minute until aromatic. Avoid burning to preserve spice integrity.
04 - Pour in beef broth, diced tomatoes with liquid, green chilies, soy sauce, and Worcestershire sauce. Stir to combine. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer uncovered for 5 minutes to develop flavor and thicken sauce.
05 - Turn off heat. Sprinkle shredded cheese over the sauce and let sit 30 seconds. Stir until fully melted and sauce becomes creamy. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper. Toss in cooked spaghetti and chopped cilantro until well coated.

# Note utili:

01 - Adding both soy sauce and Worcestershire sauce enriches umami depth, mimicking slow-cooked flavor in minutes.
02 - Leftovers can be refrigerated for up to 4 days or frozen for 3 months in portioned containers.
03 - Reheat with a splash of broth or water to restore sauciness.
04 - Swap ground beef with turkey, chicken, tofu, or black beans for dietary preferences.
