On Top of Spaghetti

My son Connor is addicted to Spaghetti, He could eat it for breakfast lunch and dinner! A few times in an effort to satisfy his spaghetti hunger, and because it’s easy, I bought him Chef Boyardee, I know, It was a moment of weakness.
Now, I am a better educated chef, parent and person as to what goes in that stuff! So I started making him little meals of spaghetti he could warm up himself and have for lunches!
Get fun noodles, add whatever you like, but here’s what I did: (Recipe varies depending on how many you want to make how far ahead, and PS: This is GREAT for dinner too for the whole family!) This can also be frozen for future meals!
What you need:

• 2 large cans of organic tomato sauce
• 1 can of organic diced tomatoes
• 10 cloves of fresh garlic finely chopped
• 2-3 basil leaves chopped into ribbons
• 1 stem of oregano chopped
• 1lb of good quality ground beef (organic if you can get it)
• Pasta, Any shape size whatever, make it fun!
•  Fresh Parmesan Cheese (not the shaker stuff EW!)
• 1/2 yellow onion diced
• 1/2 roasted red bell pepper diced
• Olive oil
• S&P to taste

What you do:

• In a large pan coat with olive oil and add onion and garlic sauteing until translucent (MAN I love this smell!)
• Once garlic and onion are cooked, add ground beef and cook until browned
• Add, the bell pepper, tomato sauce and diced tomatoes, basil and oregano
• Season with salt and pepper
• While the sauce is simmering on a low temperature, Cook your pasta in salted water.
• Once the pasta is complete drain and separate into one size serving containers
• Allow the sauce to simmer on low for about 20 minutes or so.
• Once finished add the sauce into each container based on how much your child (or you!) Likes.
• Add a Little grated Parmesan on the top, seal and refrigerate!

I also made meatballs one night and threw some of those in his lunch for an added little bonus
This is great for your lunch, your kids lunch, dinner for the whole family, whatever you want, its easy fun and DELISH!
