One Pot Pasta Recipe | The Sweetest Journey

parmesan cheese

🥗Healthier: nutritional yeast

💰Cheaper: grated pecorino

Nutritional yeast provides a cheesy flavor with fewer calories.

pasta

🥗Healthier: whole grain pasta

💰Cheaper: pasta made from semolina

Whole grain pasta adds fiber and nutrients.

olive oil

🥗Healthier: avocado oil

💰Cheaper: canola oil

Avocado oil is heart-healthy and has a high smoke point.

vegetable broth

🥗Healthier: homemade vegetable stock

Homemade stock can be lower in sodium and more flavorful.

In a large high-sided saute pan, heat the olive oil over medium heat.

Add the onion, carrots, and garlic. Stir to combine and cook until onion is translucent, about 4 minutes.

Add Italian seasoning, red pepper flakes, salt, and pepper.

Add the ground meat and continue to cook for 5 minutes.

Stir in the stock, strained tomatoes, tomato paste, vinegar, and pasta.

Stir until well combined; bring to a boil and cook until pasta is al dente, stirring frequently.

Top pasta with cheese if using.
