Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 medium yellow onion, chopped
- 4 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon dried basil
- 0.25 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
- 2 tablespoons tomato paste
- 28 ounces canned crushed tomatoes
- 12 ounces spaghetti (dairy-free)
- 0.25 cup fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil.
Add the chopped onion and minced garlic to the skillet. Sauté for about 5 minutes, or until the onion is translucent.
Add the ground beef to the skillet and cook until browned, breaking it up with a spoon as it cooks. This should take about 7 minutes.
Season the beef with salt, black pepper, oregano, basil, and crushed red pepper flakes. Stir well to combine the spices with the meat.
Add the tomato paste to the skillet and stir it into the meat. Cook for 2 minutes to caramelize the paste slightly.
Pour the crushed tomatoes into the skillet and stir to combine all the ingredients.
Reduce the heat to low and let the sauce simmer uncovered for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until slightly thickened.
While the sauce is simmering, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.
Cook the spaghetti according to package instructions until al dente, then drain.
Once the sauce has thickened, taste and adjust seasonings if necessary.
Toss the cooked spaghetti with the meat sauce until thoroughly coated.
Serve the spaghetti garnished with freshly chopped parsley. Enjoy!
