Pasta with Easy Meat Sauce

A healthy alternative to the traditional spaghetti and meat balls recipe. The key is in using fresh pasta and extra lean beef. As for the past choice – follow your kids preferences and choose anything they want from linguine, bow ties, wagon wheels, spaghetti etc.

You will need:

• 1 package of fresh pasta of choice
• 1/2 pound extra lean ground beef
• 1/2 onion
• 1 garlic clove
• 3 tablespoons tomato paste
• 1 can diced tomato
• 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese
• 1 tbs each: parsley, oregano, salt

Cook the pasta as directed on the package, but without salt and fat than drain it. Heat a large pan over medium heat and add the beef, onion, garlic, oregano, and salt. Cook 5 minutes than stir tomato paste. After 1 minute add the tomatoes and bring to boil, continue cooking for another minute than reduce the heat and cook until thickened. Serve over pasta and sprinkle with cheese.
