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, halve zucchini lengthwise, then cut into 1/4-inch half-moons. Core, then cut pepper into 1/2-inch pieces. Peel, then cut half the onion into 1/2-inch pieces (whole onion for 4 ppl).
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. Carefully discard all but 1/2 tbsp fat (dbl for 4 ppl) from the pan.
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 salt and Italian Seasoning. Season with pepper. Cook, stirring often until fragrant, 1 min.
Meanwhile, add spaghetti to the boiling water. Cook uncovered, stirring occasionally, until tender, 10-12 min. Drain and return spaghetti to the same pot, off heat.
Meanwhile, add beef mixture, crushed tomatoes and stock powder 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 spaghetti to the pan with sauce, then toss to coat. (NOTE: For 4 ppl, add sauce to the pot with spaghetti, then toss to coat.) Divide tomato-garlic beef spaghetti between bowls, then sprinkle Parmesan over top.
