Cook whole wheat spaghetti according to package instructions, then drain and set aside.
In a large pan over medium heat, warm the olive oil. Add minced garlic and chopped onion, sautΓ© until the onion is soft and translucent.
Increase the heat to medium-high and add lean ground pork, cooking until browned and no longer pink. Break up the meat into small bits as it cooks.
Stir in the shredded carrots and diced red bell pepper, and cook for an additional 5 minutes, or until the vegetables have softened.
Add unsweetened tomato sauce, tomato paste, and low-sodium chicken broth to the pan. Stir well to combine.
Reduce the heat to low and gently simmer the sauce for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Add liquid stevia, soy sauce, and adjust seasoning with salt and black pepper to taste. Continue to simmer for another 10 minutes.
Add the cooked spaghetti to the sauce and toss until the pasta is well coated with the sauce.
Serve the spaghetti warm, topped with grated cheese if desired.
