Ingredients

• 12 ounces Gluten-Free Spaghetti
• 2 tablespoons Olive Oil
• 1 medium Onion, finely chopped
• 3 cloves Garlic, minced
• 1 pound Ground Beef
• 2 tablespoons Tomato Paste
• 28 ounces Canned Crushed Tomatoes
• 1 teaspoon Dried Oregano
• 1 teaspoon Dried Basil
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black Pepper
• 0.25 teaspoon Red Pepper Flakes (optional)
• 0.5 cup Parmesan Cheese, grated (optional)
• 0.25 cup Fresh Basil, for garnish (optional)

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and cook for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until softened.

Step 3

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

Step 4

Increase the heat to medium-high and add the ground beef to the skillet. Cook, breaking up the meat with a wooden spoon, until browned and fully cooked through, about 7-8 minutes.

Step 5

Stir in the tomato paste, mixing well to coat the beef evenly.

Step 6

Pour in the crushed tomatoes and stir to combine with the meat mixture.

Step 7

Add the dried oregano, dried basil, salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes (if using). Stir everything together and bring the mixture to a simmer.

Step 8

Reduce the heat to low and let the sauce simmer gently for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking, until thickened and flavors melded.

Step 9

Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.

Step 10

Add the cooked spaghetti to the meat sauce, tossing gently to combine until the spaghetti is well coated with the sauce.

Step 11

Serve hot, with grated Parmesan cheese and fresh basil on top for garnish, if desired.
