Ingredients
- 500 grams Ground beef (85% lean or higher)
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 medium Yellow onion, finely chopped
- 3 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 medium Carrot, finely grated or diced
- 1 stalk Celery stalk, finely diced
- 800 grams Crushed tomatoes (gluten-free-certified)
- 2 tablespoons Tomato paste (gluten-free-certified)
- 1 tablespoon Gluten-free soy sauce or tamari
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon Dried basil
- 1 piece Bay leaf
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 240 milliliters Water or gluten-free chicken/beef broth
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped (optional)
- 400 grams Gluten-free spaghetti noodles
Instructions
Heat a large skillet or saucepan over medium heat. Add olive oil and let it warm up for about 1 minute.
Add the chopped onion, garlic, carrot, and celery to the pan. Sauté the vegetables for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until softened and fragrant.
Push the vegetables to the side of the pan and add the ground beef. Break the beef apart with a wooden spoon and cook until browned, about 8-10 minutes. Drain any excess fat, if necessary.
Stir in the tomato paste and let it cook for 1-2 minutes to deepen the flavor.
Add the crushed tomatoes, gluten-free soy sauce or tamari, oregano, basil, bay leaf, salt, and pepper. Stir everything together until combined.
Pour in the water or gluten-free chicken/beef broth and bring the mixture to a simmer. Reduce the heat to low, cover, and let it cook for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Meanwhile, cook the gluten-free spaghetti according to the package instructions. Drain and set aside.
After 30 minutes, remove the bay leaf from the sauce. Taste and adjust seasoning with more salt or pepper if needed.
Serve the meat sauce over the gluten-free spaghetti. Garnish with fresh parsley, if desired.
