In a large pot or Dutch oven, cook the ground beef over medium heat until browned. Drain excess fat.
Add the chopped onion and garlic to the beef and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
Stir in crushed tomatoes, tomato sauce, tomato paste, oregano, basil, salt, pepper, and sugar. Mix well.
Bring the sauce to a simmer. Reduce heat to low, cover, and cook for 30-45 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Meanwhile, cook spaghetti according to package directions. Drain and set aside.
Serve the sauce over the cooked spaghetti. Top with grated Parmesan cheese and parsley if desired.
