INGREDIENTS

6 oz 93% Lean Ground Beef

1.5 oz Whole Wheat Spaghetti

0.5 cup Tomato Puree

1 tsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil

0.25 cup Yellow Onion

0.25 cup Carrot

0.25 cup Celery

1 clove Garlic

0.25 tsp Sea Salt

0.25 tsp Black Pepper

0.5 tsp Dried Oregano

2 tbsp Water

PREPARATION

• 1

  Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the whole wheat spaghetti according to package directions until al dente.

• 2

  While the pasta cooks, heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat and sauté the finely diced onion, carrot, and celery until softened and translucent.

• 3

  Add the lean ground beef to the skillet, breaking it up with a wooden spoon, and cook until thoroughly browned and no longer pink.

• 4

  Stir in the minced garlic, sea salt, black pepper, and dried oregano, and cook for about 1 minute until the spices are fragrant.

• 5

  Pour in the tomato puree and water, then reduce the heat to low and simmer for 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld and the sauce to thicken.

• 6

  Drain the cooked spaghetti and add it directly to the skillet with the meat sauce, tossing well to ensure every strand is evenly coated before serving.
