Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 375ºF. Lightly spray a 13 by 9-inch baking dish (or a large oven-proof dish) with nonstick cooking spray.
- Fill a large pot three-quarters full with water. Cover and bring to a boil over high heat. Set a colander in the sink for draining the pasta. When the water reaches a boil, add 1 tablespoon salt and the pasta. Stir with a wooden spoon for about 30 seconds, then stir occasionally while the pasta cooks.
- In a large nonstick frying pan, heat the oil over high heat until hot and shimmering but not smoking. Add the onion. Cook, stirring frequently with a wooden spoon, until the onion is soft, about 3 minutes. Add the garlic and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Cook, stirring frequently, until soft and aromatic.
- Add the ground beef and cook, breaking up the clumps with a wooden spoon or heatproof spatula, until thoroughly cooked and browned, about four minutes. If desired, remove and discard any excess fat.
- Stir three-quarters of the tomato sauce into the beef. Lower the heat to low. (This is a good time to check the pasta if you haven't already.)
- After about 10 minutes of boiling, check the pasta for doneness. Drain the pasta in the colander and return it to the cooking pot.
- Add the meat sauce to the pasta and stir with a wooden spoon to combine. Pour into the prepared baking dish. Top with the remaining tomato sauce and sprinkle evenly with the cheese.
- Bake until the cheese is golden brown and the sauce is bubbling, about 15 minutes.

Steps:
- Heat the olive oil in a large skillet. Add the onion, green bell pepper and garlic. Cover and cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are softened -- about 10 minutes. Uncover and season with salt and pepper.
- Push the veggies to one side of the skillet and add the ground beef. Brown, stirring and breaking apart as it cooks. Once the beef is fully browned and crumbled, combine with veggies. Carefully pour off excess fat into a bowl (you'll want to discard that safely later). Add the Italian herbs and stir well to combine.
- Pour the sauce into the skillet and toss well. Add the pasta, toss again and let cook for 2-3 minutes until warmed throughout. Serve.

AMERICAN CHOP SUEY
This is a quick recipe using 'canned' spaghetti. We always ate in on Friday nights before we would go to the football games. It is also excellent when served the next day, as the flavors have a chance to mix.

Tips:
- Use gluten-free soy sauce: Tamari or coconut aminos are good substitutes for regular soy sauce.
- Make your own gluten-free oyster sauce: Combine equal parts soy sauce, rice vinegar, and sugar in a small saucepan. Bring to a simmer over medium heat, stirring until the sugar dissolves. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 5 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened slightly.
- Choose gluten-free noodles: Look for rice noodles, soba noodles, or cellophane noodles.
- Add your favorite vegetables: Some popular choices include broccoli, carrots, celery, bell peppers, and snow peas.
- Don't overcook the vegetables: They should be tender but still have a little bit of crunch.
- Serve over rice: Or your favorite gluten-free side dish.
