• 1 medium carrot, finely diced
• 1 medium celery stalk, finely diced
• 1 pound ground beef (or ground turkey or plant-based alternative)
• 28 ounces crushed tomatoes
• 2 tablespoons tomato paste
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• 1 teaspoon dried basil
• 1 leaf bay leaf
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 0.5 cup water or low-sodium broth
• 12 ounces spaghetti (dairy-free)
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (optional for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Heat the olive oil in a large skillet or saucepan over medium heat.

Step 2

Add the finely chopped onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes until softened and translucent.

Step 3

Stir in the minced garlic, diced carrot, and celery. Cook for another 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Stir in the crushed tomatoes, tomato paste, dried oregano, dried basil, bay leaf, salt, and black pepper.

Step 6

Pour in the water or broth and stir to combine. Reduce the heat to low, cover, and let the sauce simmer for 30 minutes. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.

Step 7

While the sauce simmers, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the spaghetti according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.

Step 8

After 30 minutes, remove the bay leaf from the sauce and taste to adjust seasoning if necessary.
