Say goodbye to bottled sauces today. With this recipe, you can make your own sauce (that's equally delicious) from scratch, omitting all the unhealthy preservatives, additives and artificial flavours.
I also added carrot dices for a slight crunch, and chilli for a hint of spiciness. Diced capsicums work too while adding a nice hint of green in the otherwise red and brown sauce.
This is a simple, fast and healthier choice, and a hit with the family!
Preparation Time: 5 minutes
Cooking Time: 25 minutes
Makes: 4 servings
Ingredients
250g spaghetti (or more, if you're bigger eaters)
350g ground beef
200g sliced white mushrooms
1 can diced tomatoes
50g butter
1 carrot
3 cloves garlic
1 onion
1 small dried chilli (or replace with chilli flakes)
3 tablespoon tomato puree
freshly cracked pepper and sea salt
Italian herbs
paprika
grated Parmesan, to serve
fresh parsley, to garnish
Method
Cook the spaghetti in a pot of salted boiling water for about 10 to 12 minutes, or according to the directions on its package.
Dice onion, garlic and carrot. Slice the chilli.
In a pan, heat up butter over medium-high heat and add in onions and garlic, sauteing for about 1.5 minutes.
Add ground beef to the pan and sauté for about 5 minutes.
When beef is almost cooked, add in mushrooms and carrots and continue stirring for about 2 minutes.
Add chilli, tomatoes and tomato puree.
Season to taste with cracked pepper, sea salt, Italian herbs and paprika, and stir well for about 2 minutes as the liquid reduces.
Spoon sauce over cooked, drained spaghetti and garnish with parsley and cheese before serving.
