Whole Wheat Spaghetti with Quick & Garlicky Meat Sauce

Directions

Bring a large pot of water to a boil.

Cook pasta until just tender, about 9 minutes. Drain.

Meanwhile, heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat.

Stir in onion, carrot and celery and cook, stirring often until the onion starts to brown, 6 to 8 minutes.

Stir in garlic and Italian seasoning, cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds to 1 minute.

Stir in beef and cook, stirring and breaking up with a spoon, until no longer pink, about 4 minutes.

Increase heat to high.

Pour in tomatoes and cook until thickened, about 5 minutes.

Stir in parsley and salt.

Spoon the sauce over the pasta and sprinkle cheese on top.

Serve warm.
