Spaghetti and Meat Sauce

Cook spaghetti noodles according to the directions on the box.

Heat a skillet or frying pan over medium high heat. When hot add in the cooking oil, onions, carrots, and zucchini; saute for 2 minutes. Next add in the ground meat and garlic and cook until meat is no longer pink; drain (if you are using lean meat, skip the draining step). Add the spaghetti sauce, hot sauce, Worcestershire sauce, salt, Italian seasoning and pepper. Bring to a slight boil, then reduce heat; cover and simmer for 10 minutes or until heated through. Taste. If the sauce is bitter add in a pinch of sugar.

Serve the meat sauce over spaghetti, top with basil and Parmesan cheese.
