Ingredients

• 12 oz Gluten-free spaghetti
• 2 tbsp Olive oil
• 1 lb Ground beef
• 1 medium Yellow onion, finely chopped
• 3 cloves Garlic, minced
• 28 oz Crushed tomatoes (canned)
• 2 tbsp Tomato paste
• 1 tbsp Italian seasoning
• 1 tsp Salt
• 0.5 tsp Black pepper
• 1 tsp Sugar (optional, to balance acidity)
• 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
• 1 cup Mozzarella cheese, shredded
• 2 tbsp Fresh basil (optional, for garnish)

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 or saucepan, heat the olive oil over medium heat.

Step 3

Add the ground beef and cook, breaking it up with a wooden spoon, until browned and fully cooked, about 5-7 minutes. Drain the excess fat if necessary.

Step 4

Add the chopped onion to the skillet and sauté until translucent, about 3-4 minutes.

Step 5

Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 30 seconds until fragrant.

Step 6

Add the crushed tomatoes, tomato paste, Italian seasoning, salt, black pepper, and sugar (if using). Stir well to combine.

Step 7

Reduce the heat to low and let the sauce simmer for 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.

Step 8

Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. If the sauce is too thick, you can add a small amount of water or broth to reach your desired consistency.

Step 9

Plate the cooked spaghetti and ladle the meat sauce generously over the top.

Step 10

Sprinkle with grated Parmesan and shredded mozzarella cheese while the dish is hot, allowing the cheese to melt.

Step 11

Garnish with fresh basil if desired and serve immediately. Enjoy your gluten-free spaghetti with meat sauce and cheese!
