Method

1

Dice onion and carrot into small pieces. Mince garlic. If using zucchini noodles, spiralize zucchini and set aside; if using pasta, fill a large pot with salted water and bring to boil.

2

Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Add diced onion and carrot; cook 5 minutes until softened.

3

Add minced garlic and cook 1 minute until fragrant.

4

Add ground meat, breaking it apart with a wooden spoon; cook 5–7 minutes until browned. Drain excess fat if necessary.

5

Stir in tomato paste and cook 2 minutes, stirring constantly.

6

Add canned tomatoes and broth. Stir in oregano, salt, and pepper. Bring to a simmer and reduce heat to medium-low.

7

Simmer sauce uncovered 20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until thickened and flavors meld.

8

If using traditional pasta, cook according to package directions; drain and toss lightly with a little oil. If using zucchini noodles, warm them in a skillet over medium heat for 2–3 minutes or serve fresh.

9

Divide pasta or zucchini noodles among bowls. Ladle sauce over the top.

10

Garnish with grated Parmesan cheese and fresh parsley. Serve warm.
