Note

The original recipe mentions "Oz macaroni" but is titled "Spaghetti." You can substitute spaghetti noodles for the macaroni if preferred, ensuring they are cooked al dente as they will continue to soften in the sauce.

If you prefer a spicier kick, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the meat mixture while cooking.

For a richer flavor, consider adding a splash of beef broth to the soup mixture if it seems too thick.

Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the microwave or oven until heated through.
