Gluten Free Spaghetti with Simple Meat Sauce
Description
Gluten Free Spaghetti with Simple Meat Sauce brings together ground beef browned and combined with sautéed onions, garlic, and carrots to create a robust base. Tomato elements including sauce and paste, along with water and a blend of basil, oregano, bay leaves, and brown sugar, simmer over medium-low heat for up to four hours. This slow simmer builds a thick, rich sauce that clings to gluten-free spaghetti. Once the pasta is cooked al dente, it’s tossed with the sauce and can be garnished with Parmesan cheese, adding a savory finishing touch. The method ensures tender noodles complement a well-rounded sauce textured with vegetables and savory spices, making this an accessible homemade pasta dish suitable for gluten-intolerant diners.
