Homemade Spaghetti Sauce {recipe}

Spaghetti is actually one of my husband’s favorite meals and I also love the fact that it’s so easy! Just noodles, sauce and a bit of meat. Although to make the meal a bit more balanced, it’d probably be a good idea to include a salad or some sort of raw veggies for some extra enzymes!

Homemade sauce always seemed so daunting, and my husband was very picky about the brand I was to buy. So with a bit of trepidation, I entered the world of homemade spaghetti sauce. Both he and I were pleasantly surprised, and we haven’t gone back to premade sauce since.

Homemade Spaghetti Sauce

1/2 pound ground beef

• 30 ounces tomato sauce (homemade is the best!)
• 1 Tbsp Olive Oil
• 1 1/2 tsp Dried Minced Onion
• 1 1/2 tsp Parmesean Cheese
• 1/2 tsp basil
• 1/2 tsp oregan0
• 1/2 Tbsp worchestershire sauce (optional)
• dash of  black pepper
• one bay leaf

Brown beef and drain off fat. Mix in the rest of the ingredients and simmer for 10-20 minutes. Remove bay leaf before serving. Serve over pasta!

Tips

• We use brown rice noodles as they are lower in phytic acid, so they are much easier to digest as well as being gluten free.
• You can also use spaghetti squash for a grain free and nutritious option.
