Spaghetti Bolognese

Found this receipe in Parents magazine! It was actually called "Fettuccine Bolognese" but since I used spaghetti noodles instead, I renamed it. :)

Difficulty: Easy/Medium
Taste: ****

1T canola oil
1 onion, chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
1lb ground turkey (I used ground beef because it was all I had on hand. However, turkey is better for you.)
1/4tsp salt
14.5oz can diced tomatoes (undrained)
1lg carrot, shredded (2/3c)
3T tomato paste
1T dried Italian seasoning
1/4c Parmesan cheese
1/2lb spaghetti (or any noodle really) broken in half

Heat oil in large saucepan over medium heat; saute onion for 4 minutes. Toss in garlic; saute for 1 minute. Add turkey and salt; continue to cook for 4 minutes more or until meat is cooked through, stirring to break it up. Mix in undrained tomatoes, carrot, tomato paste, and Italian seasoning. Bring to a boil. Partially cover the saucepan; reduce heat and simmer for 20 minutes, sitrring occasionally. Stir in parmesan cheese. Cover completely and cook for 20 minutes more, stirring occasionally. During the last 20 mintues of cooking the sauce, boil the noodles according to package directions; drain. Spoon the sauce over the noodles. Makes 6 servings.
