Ingredients | Clean Green Background

½ pound lean ground beef

2 small zucchinis, chopped

1 onion, chopped

3 cloves garlic, minced

1 (28 ounce) can crushed tomatoes

1 (15 ounce) can tomato sauce

2 tablespoons sucanat (crystallized sugar cane juice), or to taste

1 ½ tablespoons dried basil

1 ½ teaspoons sea salt

1 teaspoon dried oregano

¼ teaspoon ground black pepper

1 (16 ounce) package whole-wheat spaghetti

1 gallon water

salt

Directions

Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook and stir ground beef, zucchini, onion, and garlic in the hot skillet until beef is browned and crumbly, 5 to 7 minutes; drain and discard grease.

Stir crushed tomatoes, tomato sauce, sucanat, basil, sea salt, oregano, and black pepper into beef mixture. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to low, and simmer until flavors have blended, at least 30 minutes or up to 1 hour for better flavor.

While sauce is simmering, bring salted water to a boil and cook spaghetti according to package directions. Serve sauce over hot pasta.

Use any lean ground meat: ground beef, bison, or turkey.
