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.
