Ingredients

• 12 oz Gluten-free spaghetti
• 2 tbsp Olive oil
• 1 lb Ground beef or turkey
• 1 medium Onion, finely chopped
• 3 cloves Garlic, minced
• 28 oz Canned crushed tomatoes
• 2 tbsp Tomato paste
• 1 tsp Dried basil
• 1 tsp Dried oregano
• 1 tsp Salt
• 0.5 tsp Black pepper
• 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
• 0.25 cup Fresh basil, chopped (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the gluten-free spaghetti and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Drain the pasta and set aside.

Step 2

While the pasta is cooking, heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté for about 3-4 minutes, or until translucent.

Step 3

Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute until fragrant.

Step 4

Add the ground meat to the skillet. Cook until browned, breaking it up with a wooden spoon as it cooks, about 5-7 minutes.

Step 5

Stir in the crushed tomatoes, tomato paste, dried basil, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper. Lower the heat to a simmer and let the sauce cook for 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it thickens to your desired consistency.

Step 6

Once the sauce is ready, add the cooked spaghetti to the skillet. Toss well to coat the pasta evenly with the sauce.

Step 7

Serve hot and sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese and chopped fresh basil, if using.
