instructions
    1

    Begin by bringing a large pot of salted water to a boil over high heat.

    2

    While waiting for the water to boil, heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.

    3

    Add the diced onion and chopped garlic to the skillet, sautéing for about 3 minutes until they become fragrant.

    4

    Next, add the ground beef to the skillet, cooking until browned, which should take around 5-7 minutes. Make sure to stir occasionally.

    5

    Once the beef is browned, add the canned pineapple (with juice) along with the soy sauce, salt, pepper, and basil. Stir to combine and simmer for about 5 minutes.

    6

    Meanwhile, cook the spaghetti in the boiling water according to package instructions (usually about 8-10 minutes) until al dente.

    7

    Once the spaghetti is done, drain it, and add it to the skillet with the beef and pineapple mixture. Toss everything together gently to coat the pasta.

    8

    Serve immediately, garnishing with extra basil if desired.
