Dirty spaghetti is a Cajun-style pasta loaded with ground beef, smoky andouille sausage, and the holy trinity, all tossed in a rich, beefy gravy sauce. No red sauce here, just deeply satisfying Southern comfort food. It comes together in about 30 minutes and it&#039;s always a hit at our table.

Dirty Spaghetti Recipe

beef (80/20)

green bell pepper (diced)

jalapeno peppers (diced (optional,

celery (diced)

sausage

all-purpose flour

tomato paste

Worcestershire sauce

Lipton Beefy Onion Soup Mix packet

beef broth

Cajun seasoning

smoked paprika

black pepper

salt (to taste)

To Serve. Fresh chopped green onion, fresh chopped parsley, red pepper

Ground Beef

Heat the oil in a large, deep skillet or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Brown the ground beef, breaking the meat up as it cooks. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper. Cook until mostly cooked through, about 5-6 minutes. Drain excess fat, leaving about 1 tablespoon in the pan.

Trinity

Reduce heat to medium. Add the onion, bell pepper, optional jalapeno, and celery. Cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 5 minutes.

Garlic and Andouille

Add garlic and andouille sausage. Cook another 60 seconds until fragrant and the andouille browns.

Roux

Push the meat and vegetable mixture to the sides of the pan. Add the butter to the center and let it melt. Sprinkle in the flour and stir constantly for about 1-2 minutes to cook off the raw flour taste. This is your roux, the step that makes it taste like dirty rice and thickens the final sauce.

Tomato Paste

Stir in tomato paste, Worcestershire sauce, and Lipton Beefy Onion Soup Mix packet. Pour in 2 cups beef broth gradually, stirring to incorporate the roux.

Simmer

Add Cajun seasoning, smoked paprika, and black pepper. Bring to a simmer and cook 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens and darkens. Taste and adjust salt.

Pasta

While the sauce is cooking, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the spaghetti noodles until al dente according to package directions. Reserve 1/2 cup pasta water, then drain and set aside.

Combine

Add the drained spaghetti to the pan sauce and toss to coat. Add a splash of reserved pasta water if needed to loosen the sauce. Everything should be dark, clingy, and saucy, not soupy.

Serve

Serve onto plates and top with freshly chopped green onion and parsley, and red pepper flakes to taste. Serve immediately.
