Prepare the miracle noodles, set aside.

Chop the onion into ½-inch size pieces, breaking apart each layer.

Mince the garlic into very small pieces. You are allowed to use store-bought minced garlic while on HCG Phase 3.

To cook the lean ground beef, heat a medium-sized, non-stick skillet on medium heat, spray with non-stick cooking spray, if needed.

Add the raw ground beef to the pan and gently break the meat apart using a spatula.

As the meat cooks, continue to break it apart until you are left with several small pieces.

Once the meat is cooked thoroughly, transfer to a large pot (not heated yet). Cover and set aside.

Place the same skillet used to cook the meat back on the stove over medium heat.

Add the pieces of garlic and onion. Sauté until they are softened and add them to the meat.

Place the large pot containing the cooked meat, onions, and garlic over medium-high heat.

Add your low-sugar type of tomato sauce and all the spices: oregano, Italian seasoning, basil, salt and pepper and stir well.

Cover and let cook for about 4-6 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Remove the mixture from the heat and add the prepared miracle noodles. Stir well.

Do not add the miracle noodles too soon or they may become tough.

Garnish with fresh basil and enjoy!
