Creating McDonald’s McSpaghetti Copycat is a straightforward process. Follow these steps for the best results:

1. Cook the Spaghetti: In a large pot, bring salted water to a boil. Add the spaghetti and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
2. Heat the Oil: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
3. Sauté the Onion: Add the diced onion to the skillet and sauté for about 3-4 minutes until it becomes translucent.
4. Add Garlic: Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 30 seconds, being careful not to burn it.
5. Combine Tomatoes: Pour in the crushed tomatoes and tomato paste. Stir well to combine.
6. Season the Sauce: Add sugar, oregano, basil, salt, and pepper. Stir to incorporate all the flavors.
7. Simmer the Sauce: Let the sauce simmer for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
8. Combine Pasta and Sauce: Add the cooked spaghetti to the skillet with the sauce. Toss to coat the pasta evenly in the sauce.
9. Serve: Remove from heat and let sit for a minute. Serve hot, topped with grated Parmesan cheese and fresh basil if desired.
