Ingredients

• 12 oz gluten-free fettuccine
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 pound ground beef
• 1 medium onion, finely chopped
• 3 garlic cloves, minced
• 28 oz can diced tomatoes
• 2 tablespoons tomato paste
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• 1 teaspoon dried basil
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 0.25 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

In a large skillet over medium heat, heat the olive oil. Add chopped onion and cook until it becomes translucent, about 3-5 minutes.

Step 3

Add the minced garlic to the skillet and cook for another minute, until fragrant.

Step 4

Increase the heat to medium-high and add the ground beef to the skillet. Cook until the meat is browned, breaking it up with a wooden spoon, about 6-8 minutes. Drain excess fat if necessary.

Step 5

Stir in the diced tomatoes and tomato paste, then add the oregano, basil, salt, and black pepper. Stir everything to combine thoroughly.

Step 6

Reduce the heat to low and let the sauce simmer for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally, allowing the flavors to meld.

Step 7

Once the sauce has thickened to your liking, taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.

Step 8

Add the cooked fettuccine to the skillet with the sauce. Toss well to ensure the pasta is evenly coated with the meat sauce.

Step 9

Serve the fettuccine hot, garnished with grated Parmesan cheese and freshly chopped parsley.
