Note
Instead of beef you can substitute with 1 can of lentils, garbanzo, or red beans (drained). If so, brown the onions first, then add beans or lentils with the sauce and spices.
For 2 cups of broken spaghetti noodles, use about 1/3 of a one pound box.
Use no salt added canned tomato sauce for less sodium.
May use Italian mixed herbs/seasonings, basil, or thyme in place of dried oregano.
