Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Cook the 8 oz spaghetti in salted boiling water until al dente, about 8-10 minutes. Reserve 1/2 cup pasta water, then drain.

  2. Step 2

    In a large skillet over medium-high heat, brown the 1/2 lb ground beef, breaking it up, until no longer pink, about 5-7 minutes. Drain excess fat if needed.

  3. Step 3

    Stir in the 1.5 cups marinara sauce and simmer until thickened, about 3-4 minutes. Add a splash of pasta water if too thick.

  4. Step 4

    Add the drained spaghetti to the skillet and toss to coat with the sauce. Season with the 1/4 tsp black pepper.

  5. Step 5

    Serve the pasta in bowls, tear the 4 oz burrata over the top, and sprinkle with the 2 tbsp fresh basil.
