Ingredients
9 – 12 oz pasta of choice (I like angel hair for this recipe)

1 green pepper
1 small onion
3 tsp. crushed garlic
1 lb lean ground beef

6 oz tomato paste
1 tsp crushed basil, crushed
1 tsp oregano, crushed

3 tomatoes, diced (or 14 oz can diced tomatoes)
15 oz can tomato sauce
2 tsp dried basil, crushed*
2 tsp dried oregano, crushed
1 carrot, finely grated or 1/2 tsp sugar (these reduce the acidity of the sauce and bring out the spices – trust me on this one)
Salt & pepper to taste

Add tomato paste and 1 tsp ea of crushed basil, oregano and rosemary, mix well.

In saucepan, add remaining ingredients and bring to a low boil, reduce heat, add meat mixture and let simmer for 30 minutes.

Cook pasta according to directions, drain well and serve with sauce and Parmesan cheese.
