Instructions

  • Heat olive oil in large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Saute onions for 2 minutes. Stir in zucchini, carrot and bell pepper and saute another 5-7 minutes. Stir in garlic until fragrant, another minute or so.
  • Mix tomato paste into sauteed vegetables and then pour in remaining ingredients for the sauce. Bring to boil and then reduce to simmer.
  • Cover and cook for 30 minutes or longer if need be. The sauce will thicken, so thin out with a little water if you like it runny.
  • Serve with hot spaghetti and parmesan cheese.
