CLEAN PASTA RECIPES RECIPES

Steps:

• Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook and stir ground beef, zucchini, onion, and garlic in the hot skillet until beef is browned and crumbly, 5 to 7 minutes; drain and discard grease.
• Stir crushed tomatoes, tomato sauce, sucanat, basil, sea salt, oregano, and black pepper into beef mixture. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to low, and simmer until flavors have blended, at least 30 minutes or up to 1 hour for better flavor.
• While sauce is simmering, bring salted water to a boil and cook spaghetti according to package directions. Serve sauce over hot pasta.

Steps:

• Cook the pasta according to the package directions. If you’re adding greens, throw them into the pot in the last minute of cooking so they get all bright green and awesome but not slimy. For the sauce throw all the ingredients in a blender and run that shit until it is smooth. While the pasta in draining in the sink, pour the sauce into the pot you cooked the pasta in and let it warm over a low heat. Add in the pasta and serve right away. If you have any random herbs that make sense with the flavors of the dish, like basil or parsley, cut them up real small here and add them on top. * Got some wilted kale? Sad looking spinach or arugula? Add it here. Once it hits the hot water no one can tell the difference. ** We used roasted bell peppers here but you could do roasted carrots, zucchini, sweet potatoes, squash, cauliflower, broccoli etc. Good rule of them is to keep that shit grouped by color though so your pasta doesn’t turn to the color of mud. It’ll taste good but it’ll look gross. Warm colored veggies together (reds, yellows, oranges) or greens together here, but don't mix them up and blend them. Pick one category and stick to it for the sauce.
