    List of Ingredients




    Weight Watchers Spaghetti with Tomato-Meat Sauce


    2 tsp olive oil
    1 large onion(s), chopped
    1 medium carrot(s), finely chopped
    3 medium garlic clove(s), minced
    1 pound uncooked lean ground beef (with 7% fat)
    28 oz canned crushed tomatoes, in tomato puree
    1/4 tsp table salt
    1/4 tsp red pepper flakes, crushed
    1/4 tsp dried basil

    Recipe




    3 cup cooked whole-wheat spaghetti, kept hot


    Heat oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add onion, carrot and garlic. Cook, stirring frequently, until onion is translucent, about 6 minutes.

    Add ground beef to skillet. Cook, breaking up clumps with a wooden spoon, until browned, about 4 minutes.

    Stir in tomatoes and puree, salt, red pepper flakes and basil; bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer 5 minutes for flavors to blend and for sauce to thicken slightly; spoon sauce over spaghetti. Yields about 1/2 cup of spaghetti and 2/3 cup of sauce per serving. (Note: Refrigerate extra sauce for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 2 months.)
