Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef or turkey
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 medium onion, finely chopped
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 28 ounces canned crushed tomatoes
- 2 tablespoons tomato paste
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon dried basil
- 0.5 teaspoon dried thyme
- 0.25 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 tablespoon gluten-free soy sauce
Instructions
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Add the chopped onion and sauté until translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
Add the minced garlic and cook for another minute, being careful not to burn it.
Increase the heat to medium-high and add the ground meat. Break it up with a wooden spoon and cook until browned, about 6-8 minutes.
Stir in the gluten-free soy sauce and continue cooking for 1 minute.
Reduce the heat to medium, then add the canned crushed tomatoes and tomato paste. Stir well to combine.
Add the dried oregano, basil, thyme, red pepper flakes, salt, and black pepper. Stir to incorporate.
Bring the sauce to a gentle simmer and let it cook for about 15 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
Taste for seasoning and adjust with additional salt or pepper if desired.
Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
Serve hot, over your favorite gluten-free pasta or a bed of rice.
