Cooking Steps
Before starting, wash and dry all produce. Add 10 cups water and 2 tsp salt to a large pot (use same for 4 ppl). Cover and bring to a boil over high heat. Meanwhile, cut zucchini into 1/4-inch rounds. Core, then cut pepper into 1/2-inch pieces.
Heat a large non-stick pan over medium-high heat. When hot, add beef to the dry pan. Break up beef into smaller pieces, then add onions. Cook, stirring occasionally, until no pink remains in beef, 4-5 min.** When beef is done, remove the pan from heat. Using a slotted spoon, transfer beef mixture to a plate. Reserve 1/2 tbsp fat (dbl for 4 ppl) in the pan, discarding remaining.
Heat the pan with reserved fat over medium. When hot, add peppers and zucchini. Cook, stirring occasionally, until veggies are tender-crisp, 4-5 min. Add garlic puree and Italian Seasoning. Season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring often, until fragrant, 1 min.
Meanwhile, add spaghetti to the boiling water. Cook uncovered, stirring occasionally, until tender, 10-12 min. Reserve 1/4 cup pasta water (dbl for 4 ppl), then drain and return spaghetti to the same pot, off heat.
Meanwhile, add beef mixture, crushed tomatoes and soy sauce to the pan with veggies. Bring to a boil. Once boiling, reduce heat to medium-low. Simmer, stirring occasionally, until sauce thickens slightly, 7-8 min.
Add sauce to the pot with spaghetti. Season with salt and pepper, to taste, then toss to coat. (TIP: For a lighter sauce consistency, add reserved pasta water, 1-2 tbsp at a time, if desired!) Divide tomato garlic beef spaghetti between bowls, then sprinkle Parmesan over top.
