In a pinch for time, no need for that fast food, you can get your kids and family a home cooked meal in a jiffy. This recipe is something you can whip up in less than 20 minutes or less working with 10 ingredients in your kitchen. One thing I love about making my own meals is that I know what’s in there especially because I have a kid with food allergy.
Serving size: 4/5
What’s in it?
- 1/2 Box of Thin Spaghetti
- 1 lb of Lean Ground Beef or Turkey
- 1 Can of Crushed Tomatoes
- 1 Medium sized Onion – Diced
- 2 tbsp of Olive Oil
- 1 tbsp of Italian seasoning
- 1 tsp of Minced Garlic
- 1 tsp of Dried Oregano
- 1/2 tsp of Sea Salt
- 1 tsp of Black Pepper or Cayenne Pepper (optional)
Italian seasoning contains: rosemary, thyme, oregano, basil and garlic.
I always have cooked ground meat (beef/turkey/chicken in the fridge or freezer) – great for at least two weeks.
How to make it?
