Savory and delicious ground pork pasta sauce is the perfect pasta sauce for a family meal idea! It has everything you need, tons of flavor, garlic and other delicious seasonings, and it tastes amazing over pasta or zucchini zoodles.

The whole family will be begging you to make this for dinner! Every scrumptious bite will leave your yearning for the next. You will want to check out all of my best ground pork recipes.

I know that sometimes it can be difficult to talk your kids into eating more vegetables. But, I highly recommend having your kids try this sauce over zucchini noodles, one of the Fearless Dining kids will eat it and be happy about it! (Of course, my picky one won't touch anything with tomato, but that is a separate issue :-).)

Just having one kid who loves this ground pork spaghetti sauce is a huge win! I think it’s because when you simmer it slowly, the flavors all seem to blend together so much better. It has all of the flavors of your favorite Italian meat sauce!!

Shopping List:

• Tomato sauce
• Diced tomatoes
• Ground pork
• Onion
• Oregano
• Garlic
• Basil

Instructions:

In a large pan, brown your ground pork with the onion and finely chopped spices.

Add in the tomato sauce and diced tomatoes, cover, and simmer on low for 30 minutes. Optional, if you like a little spice, add a few red pepper flakes to the sauce!

Serve this pork spaghetti sauce on top of gluten free pasta or zucchini noodles. Because every brand of gluten free pasta has different cooking directions, I am not going to say how long to boil your pasta.

If you want zucchini noodles, you can use a spiralizer to make curly zucchini noodles, or you can buy pre-spiralized noodles at many grocery stores.

Is ground pork healthy?

Our family loves to use ground pork in many recipes. Ground pork isn't as low fat as ground turkey or chicken, but it adds so much rich flavor to recipes. Ground pork is high in protein and has many nutrients

This pork pasta sauce is pretty basic but you can jazz it up with veggies! One fantastic thing about it is that you can actually add extra veggies to add more nutrition and flavor. Here are some other ideas to try out:

• Mushrooms
• Yellow squash or zucchini
• Broccoli

How long does pasta sauce last?

You can save leftover meat pasta sauce for 4-5 days in the fridge if you keep them in an airtight container. You can reheat via a stovetop or microwave.

Can you freeze pasta sauce?

I often freeze pasta sauce. I love to use the super souper product above for freezing pasta sauce in easy to use portions.
