Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 large onion chopped
- 2 cloves garlic crushed
- 2 large carrots grated
- 1 large zucchini grated
- 1 lbs extra lean minced beef
- 1 tablespoon tomato paste
- ⅓ cup red wine optional
- 24 oz bottle Passata Cooking Sauce
- 2 teaspoons vegetable stock powder or salt to season - adjust to your tastes
- 2 teaspoons dried oregano
- 3 tablespoons low fat cream for cooking or low fat milk
- 1 handful freshly chopped parsley
- 1 lbs packet spaghetti
- 1 teaspoon salt for the pasta cooking water

Instructions
- Heat the oil in a large saucepan; add the onions, garlic, carrots and zucchini. Fry until vegetables are soft and fragrant (about 3 minutes). Add the beef and fry until browned. Add the tomato paste; pour in the wine and boil until it has reduced and thickened. Reduce heat and stir in the Passata, vegetable stock powder (or salt), and oregano.
- Cover pan with a lid and simmer until the sauce has thickened, stirring occasionally (about 20-30 minutes). Turn off heat; add the cooking cream (or milk) and stir until combined.
- Cook the spaghetti in a pot of boiling salted water. Drain; add 2 ladlefuls of the sauce and mix until pasta is covered. Divide between 6 serving dishes; top with extra sauce and sprinkle with Parmesan cheese and parsley.
