Cook pasta al dente according to the package directions. When done, reserve 1 cup pasta water; drain pasta; set aside.
In a skillet, saute the ground chuck until browned; drain off and discard any excess fat. Add onion and garlic; continue cooking about 5 minutes, stirring often. Add seasoned salt, pepper, Cajun seasoning, paprika, Italian seasoning, parsley, and bay leaves; cook 1 minute. Add tomato sauce, undrained diced tomatoes, beef stock and sugar, scraping up any browned bits in the bottom of the skillet. Bring to a boil; reduce heat to simmer; cover; cook 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Add the cooked, drained pasta; simmer until pasta is warmed through and desired consistency is reached, adding reserved pasta water a little at a time, if needed. Add red pepper flakes if using; stir; remove from heat; discard bay leaves.
Serve immediately.
4-6 servings.
