Brown a chopped onion in olive oil and then add a chopped clove of garlic. Let it cook on medium heat for only a minute (garlic can burn fast and ruin everything). Then add your meat (ground beef or ground turkey-I use turkey).
After your meat is browned add a chopped up carrot, zucchini, and yellow pepper. I threw in a chopped up tomato as well.
Then, add about two teaspoons of Italian seasoning and I always add a little more basil or oregano for good measure. Make sure you add some salt and pepper to taste as well. I add about a teaspoon of salt and a quarter teaspoon of pepper.
Once the seasoning has been added I throw in a can of tomato sauce, or in this case, a can of tomato paste with about a cup of water. Then, add about a tablespoon of splenda and if you have some, a tablespoon or two of cream cheese (yummy buttery taste). My kids like this served over wheat pasta, I myself eat it alone with cheese sprinkled on top. Because of the hearty veggies it is totally filling and satisfying. Enjoy!
