Spaghetti with Meat Sauce and Asparagus

Ingredients:
1 lb. of ground beef (1/2 lean, 1/2 groud chuck)
1 can of crushed tomatoes
1/2 white onion (chopped)
3 small tomatoes (chopped)
3 cloves of crushed garlic
5-6 sprigs of rosemary
1/2 a bunch of asparagus
1/2 a box of cooked, whole wheat spaghetti
Teriaki sauce
Olive oil
Garlic powder
Salt
Pepper

1. Add some teriaki sauce, salt, and pepper to the meat. Start the sauce by browning the meat in a skillet with a little olive oil over medium high heat. Break up the meat with a wooden spoon until all the meat is brown. Strain the meat and set aside. Preheat the oven to 425 degrees for the asparagus.

2. Wipe out the pan with a paper towel and put back on the heat. Add some olive oil, chopped onion, and garlic and turn down the heat to low. Let the onions and garlic cook for about 10 minutes until browned.

3. Add the chopped tomatoes, canned tomatoes, and rosemary. Simmer for 10 minutes.

4. While the sauce is simmering start boiling the water for the pasta. Cook the pasta, strain and reserve.

5. Add the asparagus to a foil lined pan. Drizzle olive oil, salt, pepper, and garlic powder over the asparagus. I mixed it up with my hands to get it fully coated. Put in the oven and cook for 10-15 minutes until browned.

6. Add the meat back to the sauce and let it simmer for 1-2 minutes to heat it through.

7. Plate with spaghetti and asparagus and serve.
