Preparation

In a large skillet sauté beef over medium-high heat, breaking it up with a spoon; drain off any fat. Add garlic, mushrooms, onion, green bell pepper, Italian seasoning and salt. Cook stirring occasionally, for about 5 minutes or until vegetables have softened.

Stir in diced tomatoes, water and broken spaghetti; bring to boil. Reduce heat; cover and simmer, stirring occasionally, for about 15 minutes or until pasta is tender. Stir in balsamic vinegar, mozzarella and Parmesan cheese; stir until cheese is melted. Serve sprinkled with fresh basil (if using).

Tips

Colby Macaroni Skillet: Substitute 12 oz (375 g) uncooked elbow macaroni for broken spaghetti. Omit Italian seasoning; substitute 1 1/4 tsp (7 mL) Worcestershire sauce. Substitute 2 cups (500 mL) Canadian Colby cheese for Canadian Mozzarella.
