Homemade Spaghetti Sauce
Ingredients:
1 lb. ground beef
1/2 onion, chopped (optional)
2 1/2 cups chopped tomatoes
6 oz tomato paste (about 2/3 cup)
1 tsp. garlic salt
1/2 tsp. oregano
1/2 tsp. basil
1/2 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. pepper
1 Tbsp. oil
Directions:
1. Fry ground beef in saucepan. Add onions if using and cook until tender.
2. Chop tomatoes to desired consistency.
3. Add tomatoes, paste, seasonings, and oil to the saucepan.
4. Cook over medium-low heat until heated through.
*Serve over zucchini noodles or spaghetti squash, with a slice of Grain-Free Sandwich Bread sprinkled with garlic salt and your favorite veggie. (The photo is zucchini–cut into noodles with a julienne peeler.)
*I’ve even tried this with cherry tomatoes–it worked and had good flavor but was a bit more “watery” than typical sauce.
