NEW RECIPE!

I prepared a homemade pasta meat sauce for dinner tonight. IT WAS DELICIOUS! I have no pictures, since I was not prepard to post this. I couldn't NOT post this easy and great recipe though. You could play with the spices and the longer it simmers the better. If you prefer a little sweet sauce, just add a little sugar. Try it-you will like it served over any pasta with a salad and garlic bread-YUMMY!


1 pound extra-lean ground beef
1 small onion, finely chopped
2 teaspoons salt
3 teaspoons pepper
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 (6 ounce) can tomato paste
1 (15 ounce) can tomato sauce
1 (28 ounce) can diced tomatoes (I used diced tomatos with onions and oregano)
4 teaspoons dried thyme
2 teaspoons dried basil leaves
2 teaspoons dried rosemary
1 teaspoon dried marjoram



DIRECTIONS
Place ground beef in a large deep skillet. Cook over medium heat until evenly brown. Drain excess fat. Add onion, and cook until soft and translucent add garlic for about a minute (until smells cooked). Season with salt and pepper. Stir in tomato paste, tomato sauce and diced tomatoes. Season with thyme, basil, rosemary, and marjoram. Cover, and simmer on low heat for 30 minutes or more.
