Provided by Christina

Categories     Entree

Time 25m

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 tbsp olive or avocado oil
1 lb lean ground turkey or beef (I use 93% lean ground turkey.)
28 oz canned crushed tomatoes (I prefer fire-roasted.)
1/4 cup water
3 tbsp tomato paste
1 tbsp garlic (minced)
1 1/2 tsp dried oregano
1 1/2 tsp dried basil
1 tsp dried parsley
1 tsp salt
1 tsp onion powder
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp pepper

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!

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients, especially tomatoes. Fresh, ripe tomatoes will give your sauce the best flavor.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan. If you add too much sauce to the pan, it will not cook evenly and will be more likely to burn.
  • Cook the sauce over medium heat. This will help to prevent the sauce from burning and will allow the flavors to develop slowly.
  • Stir the sauce regularly. This will help to prevent the sauce from sticking to the pan and will also help to distribute the heat evenly.
  • Season the sauce to taste. Add salt, pepper, and other herbs and spices to taste. You can also add a bit of sugar to balance out the acidity of the tomatoes.
  • Let the sauce simmer for at least 30 minutes. This will allow the flavors to develop and deepen.
  • Serve the sauce over your favorite pasta, or use it as a topping for pizza or lasagna.

Conclusion:

There you have it! A quick and easy spaghetti sauce recipe that is sure to please everyone at your table. With just a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can create a delicious and flavorful sauce that will take your pasta dishes to the next level.
