Introduction
Good on pasta, but works equally well on some meats. A good go-to, healthy, throw in what you have tomato sauce. Also delicious!Makes 7 or so servings, between 3/4 and 1 cup.

Ingredients
-
1 tbsp olive oil
1 onion, chopped
3 cloves garlic, chopped
5 zucchini (or combine some zucchini with some other squash) chopped
3 carrots, chopped
2 cans tomatoes
1 tsp basil
1 tsp oregano
salt and pepper to taste (I use cayenne pepper, too, because we like a little spice)
Directions
Chop veggies. Heat olive oil in a good-sized wok or pan.
Sauté garlic and onion about 2 minutes, until translucent (you can tell they're ready by the smell).
Add in zucchini/squash and carrots. Saute five more minutes.
Add in two large cans tomatoes, and non-salt and pepper seasonings. Heat over medium-high heat until bubbling.
Allow to simmer 15-20 minutes, add in salt and peppers last, so that they don't change as the volume reduces. If you prefer, you can purée the sauce with a stick blender or in a regular blender, until you get the texture you prefer. I like having veggie chunks, so don't always bother.
Serve over/with whatever you desire.
