8 oz. uncooked spaghetti
2tbsp. olive oil
1 lg. onion, chopped
2 carrots, chopped
2 garlic cloves, chopped
¼ lb. ground sirloin( My grocer didn't have sirloin at them time :( I was bummed, if you can find it it is a much leaner choice)
¼ tsp. kosher salt
½ tsp. pepper
1 28 oz. can crushed tomatoes, un drained
½ c. fresh chopped flat leaf parsley
¼ c. grated parmesan cheese

1 Cook pasta according to package. Meanwhile heat oil in large sauce pan over med heat. Add the onions, carrots, and garlic, cook, stirring occasionally for 8-10 mins.

2 Increase the heat, add the sirloin, salt and pepper; cook breaking up sirloin with spoon. When no longer pink add tomatoes, and simmer until sauce thickens. Stir in parsley.
