Ingredients

  • 1 (750 g) jar pasta sauce (make sure it's a nice thick one, or make your own)
  • 2 teaspoons olive oil
  • 3 garlic cloves
  • 1 onion
  • 2 medium zucchini, grated
  • 2 medium carrots, grated
  • additional chopped vegetables, such as mushrooms, capsicum, celery, if wanted
  • 500 g lean ground beef

Method

  • Brown the beef, drain fat, and set aside.
  • Saute onion, celery (if using) and garlic in a little oil till onion softens.
  • Add carrots, zucchini, and other veggies. Saute for 3 - 5 minutes.
  • Return beef to pan with veggies.
  • Add pasta sauce. If you are using a plain sauce (like a passata), then season with salt, pepper, basil, and oregano. If you are using a commercial sauce that already has flavourings added, you should be able to get by without it.
  • Simmer for 30 minutes, or more if you have the time. Or less if you don't!
  • Serve over hot cooked pasta.
