My Spaghetti

I used to think that Spaghetti was just a matter of opening up a jar of your favorite sauce and boiling some noodles. But I have a hard time doing that any more b/c I can get so much flavor out of the most basic vegetables and herbs. So here is my favorite concoction.

Spaghetti Sauce

1 Large can of whole tomatoes
1-2 Tbs of Kosher Salt (or more if you desire)
3-6 leaves of fresh Basil
3-4 whole garlic cloves
1-2 Tbs olive oil

Dump into your blender and puree.

1 Tbs olive oil
1 bunch of scallions
1 zucchini
1 shredded carrot
1/2 red pepper
2+ TBS of fresh parsley and oregano
(Red pepper flakes if you're in the mood.)

ground beef
worchestershire sauce
garlic salt

Chop and sautee in the olive oil for about 10 minutes until nice and soft. Then add ground beef and cover with worchestershire sauce and garlic salt. Once it is cooked, add the tomato sauce.

Cook your favorite noodles and cover with sauce. Marshalls occasionally has some fun striped super long noodles. They make for an exciting kid meal.
