Spaghetti

Spaghetti




1/2 lb of Ground beef
1/2 lb of Tofu
1/2 Onion
2 Tbsp of Minced garlic
1 Tsp Dried oregano
1 Tsp Dried basil
1 Egg
1 1/2 Tbsp Bread Crumbs

1 1/2 Jar of Tomato sauce (whichever sauce you like)
Mozzarella cheese

1 Box of pasta of your choice
(Thick spaghetti pasta in the picture)

1. In a large sauce pan saute the chopped onion and garlic together in olive oil over a medium/high heat

2. Mix in the beef, egg, bread crumbs, dried oregano, dried basil and tofu together
(I put in tofu because it makes the meat consistency in the sauce a bit silkier..it does not affect the flavor in any way so its optional)

3. Once the onions become translucent and soft, add the meat mixture and let it cook through for a acouple of minutes

• If you like your sauce a little chunky, keep stirring the mixture so that the chunks of meat break down into small pieces. If you don't prefer it chunky like what you see in the picture, leave the meat to cook for a few minutes then gently break down the mixture and make sure the pieces are bite size. The meat will cook through and stay in bigger shapes.
  

4. When the meat is finished cooking, add in your favorite tomato sauce and lower the heat so it can simmer for 8-10 minutes.

5. Add in a good amount of mozzarella cheese and serve it over the pasta of your choice

Enjoy!
