Spaghetti Sauce w/ Veggies

This is a delicious way to add a few more veggies into your meal. Just saute up a few veggies, add in your favorite jar of sauce. Let simmer and cook your favorite GF pasta. A nice brown rice spaghett was used here. A simple meal for those busy evenings.  Enjoy!

Spaghetti Sauce w/ Veggies

Makes 4-6 servings

Optional: You can cook up 1 lb ground beef, with a bit of onion, salt and pepper in advance, and add it into the sauce when you add the jar of spaghetti sauce for a nice twist!

Dice the following veggies:

¼ - ½ red onion

¼ - ½ red bell pepper

¼ - ½ green bell pepper

½ - 1 celery stalk

½ - 1 zucchini (optional)

3-4 cloves garlic, minced

Heat over medium heat in a saucepan with lid (a wide, low saucepan works well):

1-2 Tbsp olive oil

Add in the veggies, and the following spices:

1 – 2 tsp dried oregano

1 – 2 tsp dried basil

½ tsp salt

½ tsp pepper

Cook until tender.  Then add:

1 jar spaghetti sauce (I prefer Classico)

OR add
1 can tomato sauce and/or chopped tomatoes - add in extra spices listed above, to taste.

Let simmer 30 min – 1 hour.  Serve over brown rice pasta. Sprinkle with parmesan cheese, if desired.

Enjoy!
