Step‑by‑Step Instructions for Dirty Spaghetti
- In a large pot or deep skillet, heat over medium-high heat. Add ground beef and Italian turkey sausage, cooking until browned, about 5-7 minutes. Stir frequently to break up the meat.
- Add diced yellow onion, red bell pepper, and green bell pepper to the pot. Cook for 4-5 minutes or until softened, stirring occasionally.
- Introduce Worcestershire sauce and optional beer or bourbon, scraping the bottom of the pot to lift browned bits. Stir in the tomato paste and cook for 2-3 minutes.
- Sprinkle flour over the mixture and stir, cooking for 1-2 minutes to form a roux.
- Slowly pour in beef broth, stirring continuously to create a gravy. Simmer for about 5-10 minutes.
- Add raw spaghetti directly into the thickened gravy, cook for about 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Once the spaghetti is cooked, combine it with the gravy. Gradually stir in reserved pasta water to adjust consistency. Serve hot, garnished with fresh parsley.
