Spaghetti with Meat Sauce

This is an easily customized old favorite. Below is how I like to make it, but feel free to mix it up...

Ingredients:
1 lb ground beef or turkey
1/2 small onion, chopped
2 cloves garlic, diced
1 can tomato paste
1 can tomato sauce
1 can diced or stewed tomatoes
1 package spaghetti seasonings (Lawry's or McCormick)
Fresh basil to taste
1 package whole wheat spaghetti

Sauce:
Brown the ground meat with small amounts of salt and pepper. Add onion and garlic and cook until the onion is clear. Add tomato products, packaged seasonings (and anything on the package directions), chopped fresh basil, and simmer. The longer the sauce simmers the thicker it will be.

Cook pasta according to the package directions. Divide pasta, top with sauce, and serve warm with a salad and fresh bread. Leftover spaghetti and sauce should be combined and frozen for another yummy dinner on another night.
