Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 16 oz Gluten-free spaghetti
- 2 tbsp Olive oil
- 1 lb Ground beef (or ground turkey for a lighter option)
- 1 medium Yellow onion, finely diced
- 3 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 medium Carrot, finely diced
- 1 stalk Celery stalk, finely diced
- 28 oz Canned crushed tomatoes
- 2 tbsp Tomato paste
- 1 cup Beef broth (ensure it’s gluten-free)
- 0.5 cup Red wine (optional, ensure it’s gluten-free)
- 1 tsp Dried oregano
- 1 tsp Dried basil
- 1 tsp Salt
- 0.5 tsp Black pepper
- 2 tbsp Fresh parsley, chopped
- 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese, grated (optional for garnish, ensure it’s gluten-free)
Instructions
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the gluten-free spaghetti according to the package instructions. Once cooked, drain and set aside.
In a large skillet or saucepan, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
Add the diced onion, minced garlic, diced carrot, and diced celery. Cook for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are softened.
Add the ground beef to the skillet. Cook until browned, breaking up the meat with a wooden spoon, about 7-10 minutes.
Drain any excess fat from the skillet, if necessary.
Stir in the tomato paste, and cook for 1-2 minutes to deepen the flavor.
Pour in the crushed tomatoes, beef broth, and red wine (if using). Stir well to combine.
Season the sauce with dried oregano, dried basil, salt, and black pepper. Reduce the heat to low, cover, and let simmer gently for 30-40 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Taste the sauce and adjust seasoning as needed. If the sauce becomes too thick, add a splash of extra beef broth or water.
Serve the sauce over the cooked gluten-free spaghetti. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and grated Parmesan cheese, if desired.
