Spaghetti with Meat Sauce

I've decided that spaghetti is one of my favorite meals ever. We had it pretty much every week growing up, and it serves as a comfort food for me. It's also quick and easy...what's not to love?! For this dish, you will need:

1 lb. lean ground beef or ground turkey
1 small onion, diced
1 package sliced mushrooms
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 can tomato paste
1 14oz. can petite diced tomatoes
1 14 oz. can tomato sauce
8 oz. water
1/2 Tbsp. oregano
1/2 tsp. basil
1/2 tsp. seasoned salt
1/2 tsp. garlic powder
1/2 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. pepper
1/4 tsp. thyme
1 lb. noodles
shredded parmesan cheese

*Warning!!!* I've actually never gone through and measured out the spices I use in this recipe. I just kind of sprinkle everything in and taste as I go. Those values should be pretty close, but add a little less at first and taste the sauce before you add more.

Start by browning the meat with the diced onion, sliced mushrooms, and minced garlic.

Add the tomato paste, diced tomatoes, tomato sauce, water, and stir. Then, add the spices. Simmer for about 30 minutes.

While the sauce is simmering, boil the noodles. Top with shredded parmesan cheese and serve with french bread and a salad. Enjoy!
