Recipe Introduction


Pasta Sauce Packed with Veggies


List of Ingredients




1 teaspoon olive oil
1 medium onion, chopped (about 1½ cups)
1 large green pepper, seeded, chopped
3 large carrots, finely grated (about 3 cups)
1 pound ground sirloin (extra lean or 7% fat)
3 large cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon dry basil
1 teaspoon dry marjoram
½ cup fresh parsley, minced
1 15-oz. can kidney beans, drained
1 15-oz. can diced tomatoes (including juice)
1 15-oz. can tomato sauce (or puree)
1 14½-oz. can beef or chicken broth


Recipe



Sauté the onion, green pepper, and carrots in the olive oil for about 5 minutes. Add the sirloin and cook until the pink is gone. Add the garlic and dried herbs. Then add the parsley, kidney beans, tomatoes, and tomato sauce. Simmer covered while you prepare the rest of the meal. Add broth as needed to achieve the desired consistency.

While the sauce can be ready in 15 minutes if you simmer it uncovered, the taste and texture improve if you let it simmer longer until the grated carrots are soft enough to blend into the sauce. Serve over your favorite grain or pasta.
