In a large nonstick skillet, heat olive oil on medium-high to high heat. Add in the ground beef and lightly brown, stirring and breaking up with the spatula until cooked through. Once cooked through, place the beef on a paper-towel lined dish. Drain the excess fat but leave about 1-2 tbsp of rendered fat in the skillet.
On medium heat, saute the onion until slightly softened. Once the onion has softened, add the garlic and continue to saute until fragrant.

Bring the mixture to a boil. Once the mixture begins to boil, reduce to a simmer, cover, and cook for 15-20 minutes.
Serve over spaghetti cooked al dente and garnish fresh chopped parsley.
