Ground Meat Sauce

My family and I love pasta. Of course it can be very carb heavy, but I recently discovered a pasta brand by Ancient Harvest that is a quinoa and corn blend so that has been our go to pasta for the last few months. Pasta is also a great quick dinner fix during the busy week.

As for the sauce, it's so easy to grab pasta sauce and just throw it over in a matter of minutes. However, a little over a year ago I decided I wanted to start making my own sauce so that I knew exactly what went into it and could flavor it as I please. I haven’t gone back to the canned stuff since.

It can seem overwhelming to make your own sauce, but it really isn’t as hard as most people think. Give it a try and use it over your whole wheat pasta or zoodles or as a dipping sauce for your cheesy breads. The veggies I used were just what I had on hand. Go ahead and use as much or as little variety as you please.
