Instructions
- Using a food processor, finely chop the mushrooms and zucchini. You could finely chop them by hand or use a grater too if you don't have a food processor. It's important that the vegetables are finely chopped to mimic ground beef/beef mince once cooked.
- In a large, deep pan or braiser, heat a splash of olive oil. Add the onion and garlic and cook until fragrant.
- Add the mushrooms, zucchini and herbs and cook, stirring regularly, for 10-15 minutes until the moisture has evaporated.
- Pour in the tomato passata, tomato paste, red wine, tamari sauce and stock. Season generously with salt and pepper.
- Reduce the heat and allow to simmer for 15-20 minutes until the sauce has thickened slightly and the vegetables are cooked through.
- Serve the sauce with your choice of pasta with a generous handful of cheese and fresh basil.
Notes
- The calorie amount is per portion of sauce (the sauce makes 6 portions).
