👨‍🍳 Ingredients:

• For the Sauce:

  • 1 lb Grass-Fed Ground Beef

  • 1 (28 oz) can San Marzano Whole Peeled Tomatoes

  • 16 oz Baby Bella Mushrooms, sliced

  • 4 cloves Garlic, minced

  • Salt and Pepper, to taste

  • 2 tsp Garlic Powder

  • 2 tbsp Granulated Sugar

  • 1/4 tsp Corn Starch for thickening (or simmer to reduce sauce)

  • Kinders "The Blend" seasoning, to taste

  • Italian Seasoning Blend, to taste

  For the Pasta:

  • 1 lb Organic Spaghetti Noodles

  Garnishes:

  • 2 tbsp Fresh Parsley, chopped

  • 2 cups Parmesan Cheese, freshly grated

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Sauce

1. Cook the Ground Beef:In a large skillet or saucepan over medium heat, cook the ground beef until browned. Break it up into small pieces as it cooks. Season with the Kinders "The Blend" seasoning. Once cooked, drain any excess fat if necessary.

2. Sauté the Vegetables: Add half of the minced garlic and all of the sliced Baby Bella mushrooms to the skillet with the beef. Sauté for about 5 minutes, or until the mushrooms soften and release their juices.

3. Blend the Tomatoes:In a blender, combine the San Marzano tomatoes, garlic powder, and granulated sugar. Blend until smooth.

4. Sauté Garlic and Build the Sauce: In a separate sauce pan, add the butter to and melt it over medium heat. Add the remaining minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute. Pour the blended tomato mixture into the pan.

5. Season and Simmer: Add Italian seasoning and salt to taste. Stir well to combine. Reduce the heat to low and let the sauce simmer for 20-30 minutes, stirring occasionally to allow the flavors to meld.

6. Combine and Taste: Combine the meat mixture and sauce mixture. Add additional garlic powder, salt, or italian seasoning to taste. To speed up thickening in the case of not being able to wait to fully reduce, add the corn starch.

   
   

2. Cook the Spaghetti
