This dish has become one of our family’s favorites. I love that it is a one-pot dish, which pleases my entire family, and my big kids can both cook it themselves. Leftovers are great for school lunches in a thermos.

Ingredients

  

• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 1-2 onions, diced
• 2-3 carrots, diced
• 1 lb lean ground beef
• 1/4 cup canned tomato paste
• 1 can unsalted canned diced tomatoes (796ml)
• 1 liter beef and/or unsalted chicken broth (I love the Pacific Foods brand- order on Amazon)
• 2 tsp Italian seasoning
• 450 g spaghetti
• Salt and red pepper flakes to taste
• Optional: sprinkle with dried and/or fresh basil, parmesan cheese

Instructions

 

• In a large skillet, wok or dutch oven, heat oil over medium-high heat. Cook onions, carrots and salt in oil, 5-8 minutes or until softened. Add beef; cook 5-8 minutes, stirring frequently, until browned and no longer pink.
• Stir in tomato paste and tomatoes. Stir in broth, pepper flakes and Italian seasoning; heat to simmering. Break pasta in half, and tuck pasta into simmering liquid, covering completely. Reduce heat to medium-low; cook 15 minutes or until pasta is soft.
• Top with Parmesan cheese and basil, if using. Enjoy!!!
