Spicy Spaghetti with Okra image

The best spaghetti with okra you'll ever taste! Although it's not technically a Cuban dish, I did create the recipe and it is half my nationality. Beware that it is a little on the spicy side. Great with garlic or French bread.

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 17

3 pounds ground beef
2 (24 ounce) jars spaghetti sauce
1 (16 ounce) package frozen sliced okra
5 cooked sausages, sliced
1 cup water
1 (6 ounce) can sliced mushrooms, drained
1 (5 ounce) bottle hot sauce (such as Cholula®), or to taste
1 medium onion, diced
1 medium green bell pepper, diced
1 medium red bell pepper, diced
1 medium yellow bell pepper, diced
1 medium orange bell pepper, diced
1 (4.5 ounce) jar minced garlic
1 (2.25 ounce) can sliced black olives, drained
2 (16 ounce) packages spaghetti
1 (8 ounce) package shredded Cheddar cheese, or to taste
1 cup grated Parmesan cheese, or to taste

Steps:

  • Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook and stir ground beef in the hot skillet until browned and crumbly, 5 to 10 minutes. Remove from heat.
  • Combine spaghetti sauce, okra, sausage, water, mushrooms, hot sauce, onion, bell peppers, garlic, and olives in a large pot; bring to a simmer. Rinse ground beef and add to the pot. Continue to simmer for at least 1 hour.
  • While sauce simmers, bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook spaghetti in the boiling water, stirring occasionally, until tender yet firm to the bite, about 12 minutes. Drain.
  • Spread spaghetti on serving plates. Cover each with some Cheddar cheese. Add some sauce and top with Parmesan cheese.
