Spaghetti with homemade sauce

Spaghetti Sauce Prep Time:  10 minutes
Cooking Time: 20 minutes
Noodles wih Boil Time: 30 minutes

Spaghetti sauces that you find sitting in your grocery stores shelves are loaded with preservatives and sodium. I'm guilty of using these shelved sauces, but can tell you that once I started to educate myself of the foods I was putting in my body and my family's bodies I have not used! So here's my theory on making your own sauce that tastes delicious and you can be proud of what you just made! The time that it takes to get a pot of water boiling and your spaghetti noodles cooked, you can have a homemade spaghetti sauce made with time to spare!

INGREDIENTS:

1lb. ground lean turkey breast or fresh ground sirloin

Fresh or freeze dried oregano (king soopers carries freeze dried herbs by there fresh herbs & salad section)

Fresh Italian parsley (chopped)

Garlic (minced, fresh/freeze dried)

Basil

1 15oz can diced tomatoes *no salt added* (be careful when buying canned tomatoes, they sell flavored that sound like they would be great in your dish, but many of these are loaded with high fructose corn syrup. Example Italian diced tomatoes)

1 box whole grain or the barilla yellow box with dha (has best life on box) spaghetti

2 cans tomato sauce *no salt added*

Olive oil

1 cup diced mushrooms

1/2 cup pureed carrots

DIRECTIONS:

fill a large pot with water and start over a medium high heat. Add a tbs olive oil to pot. Don't add spaghetti until the water is at a rolling boil

Add meat to a deep skillet with a tbs olive oil to prevent meat from sticking.

Add fresh herbs, spices, & mushrooms

Once the meat is cooked fully add carrot purée, tomato sauce

Follow the box instructions for the spaghetti. 

Mix the spaghetti noodles with the sauce or serve sauce over noodles whichever you prefer!

Voila it's done!
