How to Make Edith's Low Salt Spaghetti Sauce For One

  1. Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a small saucepan over medium heat. Brown 3 ounces of ground meat (beef, turkey, or Italian sausage). Drain off any excess grease.

  4. Add 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning, 1 tablespoon red wine vinegar (or to taste), and a pinch of black pepper. Simmer for 5-7 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
  5. Serve the sauce over 1 serving of cooked fettuccine or your favorite pasta.
  6. Top with 1 tablespoon grated Parmesan cheese (be mindful of sodium content). Add salt to taste if desired. Optional: Add 1/4 cup of chopped green bell pepper in step 2.
