   In a large skillet, over medium-high heat, cook and crumble the ground beef, salt, and black pepper until the meat is no longer pink. Drain the excess grease from the skillet.

2. 2

   Add the beef broth, tomato sauce, tomato paste, garlic, sugar, and Italian seasoning. Stir until combined well. Bring to a gentle /low boil.

3. 3

   One boiling, reduce the heat to low or medium-low, and let simmer for 45 minutes uncovered. The sauce is done once it has thickened and turned a dark red color.

4. 4

   About 15 minutes before the spaghetti sauce is done, boil a large pot of salted water, and cook the thin spaghetti noodles according to the package directions. Cook to al dente or softer depending on preference. When done, drain the spaghetti in a colander but do not rinse it.

   Add the cooked noodles into the spaghetti sauce and mix everything together until all the noodles are coated in the sauce.
