So the great thing about making spaghetti sauce is you can add more or take a little out of things you like and dislike so don't be afraid to tweak the recipe. This is my version of a veggie packed lean meat healthy yummy tasting sauce :)
1 pack of either 95% lean ground beef or turkey (1.5-2pds)
2 cans of plain tomato sauce
1 can of petite diced tomatos
1 cup of sliced mushrooms
2 cups of raw spinach
1/2 of an onion
3-4 garlic cloves
Cook the meat in a pot, since its so lean there won't be much for you to drain out. Once the meat has started cooking add in the onions and mushrooms. After the meat has finished cooking add in your tomato sauce, diced, and spinach. You can either chop or just smash the garlic depending on how you like your flavor-throw that in the pot too. Add in some salt, pepper, basil, ANY green herb you have on hand and let it come up to a boil. Once its boiling turn it down and have it on a simmer for an hour or so. The most important thing to remember about sauce is its all about your taste-so taste it! If you think it needs more or something add it, just remember that you can't take "too much salt" out so start with a little just to be safe.
Serve it over regular noodles or breakout that spaghetti squash!
