Easy Beef And Veggie Bolognese - cooking recipe

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

Preparation

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.
