Steps:
- Add oil to a skillet on the stove top. Heat to medium-high heat. Once pan is hot, add the ground meat. Saute the meat, stirring occasionally, until browned. If your turkey or beef isn't very lean you may want to drain the grease. (I find that isn't necessary when using 93% lean.)
- Reduce heat to medium low. Add canned crushed tomatoes, water, tomato paste, garlic, oregano, basil, parsley, salt, onion powder, garlic powder, and pepper to skillet with the meat. Stir to combine. Cover and gently simmer for 10 to 15 minutes or until everything is heated through and flavors have married.
- Serve over your favorite pasta, spaghetti squash (see my recipe for Roasted Spaghetti Squash), or zoodles. You can even add it to the top of roasted veggies for a satisfying but light meal!

Steps:
- In a large pan heat the extra virgin olive oil over medium heat until just shimmering. Add the onions, garlic, and finely grated carrots. Cook for about 5 minutes, stirring regularly until softened.
- Add the crushed tomatoes and about 1/2 cup water. Add a generous pinch of salt and pepper. Stir in oregano, paprika, crushed pepper flakes, if using. Finally, stir in the fresh basil and parsley.
- Bring the sauce to a boil, then turn heat to low. Cover and let simmer for about 15 to 20 minutes. Check partway through, and if you feel the sauce is too thick, you can add a bit more water (preferably some of your pasta cooking water). When sauce is ready, throw in more fresh basil, if you like.
- If serving for dinner, add cooked pasta of your choice to the sauce. Mix to combine and let the pasta cook in the sauce over low heat for about 5 minutes.

This is a simple pasta sauce that you can use for more than just spaghetti. Puree this recipe for pizza sauce or a great dipping sauce.

Tips:
- Use fresh ingredients: The quality of your ingredients will greatly affect the flavor of your sauce. If possible, use fresh vegetables, herbs, and spices.
- Don't overcrowd the pan: When sautéing the vegetables, make sure not to overcrowd the pan. This will prevent them from cooking evenly and will make them more likely to stick to the pan.
- Cook the sauce slowly: Simmering the sauce for a long period of time will allow the flavors to develop and deepen. Be patient and let the sauce cook for at least 30 minutes, or even longer if you have the time.
- Season to taste: Once the sauce is finished cooking, taste it and adjust the seasonings as needed. You may want to add more salt, pepper, or herbs to taste.
- Serve with your favorite pasta: This spaghetti sauce can be served with any type of pasta, but it is especially good with spaghetti, penne, or rigatoni.
