- Spray a large non-stick frying pan with cooking oil spray. Add 1 medium onion, chopped, and 2 cloves garlic, minced, and cook over medium heat until softened (about 5 minutes).
- Add 500g lean ground beef and cook, breaking it up with a spoon, until browned (about 7-8 minutes). Drain off any excess grease.
- Stir in 1 (700g) can crushed tomatoes, 2 tablespoons tomato paste, 2 cups chopped vegetables (e.g., carrots, zucchini, bell peppers, mushrooms – pre-cooked in the microwave for 2 minutes is recommended), 1 teaspoon dried oregano, 1/2 teaspoon dried basil, and a pinch of red pepper flakes (optional).
- Season generously with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
- Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender and the sauce has thickened slightly.
- Serve the sauce over your favorite hot pasta. Garnish with grated Parmesan cheese or your favorite cheese (optional).
