Answer:
Before you can start making your spaghetti you will need to first get the proper supplies and materials. To make this spaghetti you will need:
a box of spaghetti
a jar of marinara sauce
1-2 pounds of ground beef or Italian sausage
two large pots, one for boiling the pasta and the other for making the sauce
serving untensils
salt
water
You can use as much meat as you want, really - but anywhere from 1-2 pounds per large jar of sauce should work out best. I tend to use 1 pound of meat nearly every time.
Before you start, fill up a large pot with water and add a handful of salt. Put it on the stove and turn it to high so it'll start boiling!
Next you will need to cook the of meat. Take all of the meat out of its container and set it all in a large pan, then put the pan on the stove and set the stove to medium.
After that you will need to break the meat into smaller pieces. When the meat is in small pieces you will then need to start flipping the meat and make sure it gets brown all-around and cooked thoroughly. The cooking should take approximately 10-15 minutes. When all of the meat is brown and cooked you can add in the sauce.
Next you will need to mix your marinara sauce with your cooked meat. Take your jar of marinara sauce and pour all of it on the cooked meat and then stir it all around until it is all blended together. Then turn the heat down to low and let it simmer while you cook the pasta.
Once the water has come up to a boil, you can throw the spaghetti in. Typically it should cook within 7-11 minutes - just follow the time on the box!
Make sure to stir every couple minutes to keep it from sticking.
Depending on your timing, you can either strain the spaghetti and set it aside, or you can put it right into the sauce.

You can do this in a lot of ways but I prefer mixing the noodles in the pan with the sauce. I use tongs to drain the noodles and place them in the sauce, and then put in a couple spoons of pasta water. Stir it all together really well - the pasta water coats all the noodles and lets the sauce stick more.
You can also put plain spaghetti on individual plates and spoon the sauce over top. Whatever works for you.
Top with cheese and enjoy!
