Spaghetti and Meat Sauce

Hey friends!!

 I hope y'all are enjoying this Monday! We started our morning off at MOPS where we were able to listen to some really awesome moms speak about living a "simple, whole foods " type of life. Lots of great info! Anyways I popped on here to give you a run down on my super quick and easy spaghetti and meat sauce. This recipe is versatile because you can swap out some ingredients for cleaner ingredients ex. ( zucchini noodles VS angel hair pasta) and you can mix and match different veggies to suit you and your family! 

Ingredients:

1 Jar tomato basil sauce ( I use HEB organics)

1 pkg Angel Hair pasta/zuchinni noodles

1 16 oz pint of sliced mushrooms ** optional

1 green bell pepper chopped

1 onion 

2 cloves of minced garlic

olive oil 

1 lb lean ground beef

1/2 lb ground Italian sausage**optional ( this adds extra flavor)

shredded parmesan cheese 

1 bunch chopped basil

Instructions:

Over medium high heat add the onion and some olive oil to a deep pan or pot. Cook about 5 minutes and then add the ground beef. Cook until brown and crumbly then add your garlic. Stir until fragrant. Add in the bell pepper, mushrooms and stir until soft and wilted! Then add your sauce. Turn heat down low and let simmer for 1 hour. I sometimes add in 1/2 cup dry red wine ( chianti or cab) and stir that in too for a richer flavor. 

Serve over hot angel hair pasta or some zucchini noodles!! Garnish with lots of parmesean cheese and freshly torn basil!
