  • Bring the mixture to a simmer, then reduce heat and cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  • Add the uncooked spaghetti to the skillet. Stir well to ensure the spaghetti is mostly submerged in the liquid. Cover the skillet and cook on low heat for 10-15 minutes, or until the spaghetti is al dente, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
