Ingredients:

  • 1 pound whole-wheat spaghetti
  • 2 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1 large onion, finely chopped
  • 1 large carrot, finely chopped
  • 1 stalk celery, finely chopped
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon Italian seasoning
  • 1 pound lean (90% or leaner) ground beef
  • 1 28-ounce can of crushed tomatoes
  • ¼ cup chopped flat-leaf parsley
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese


Directions:

  • Boil a large pot of water. Cook the pasta for 8 to 10 minutes, or until just tender, according to package directions. Drain.
  • Meanwhile, in a large skillet, heat the oil over medium heat. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 5 to 8 minutes, or until the onion starts to brown.
  • Cook for about 30 seconds, or until the garlic and Italian seasoning are fragrant. Cook until the beef is no longer pink, 3 to 5 minutes, stirring and breaking it up with a spoon. Raise the temperature to high. Cook for 4 to 6 minutes, or until the tomatoes are thickened. Combine the parsley and salt in a small mixing bowl.
  • Serve the sauce atop the pasta, topped with the cheese.
