Ingrediënten

3 cloves garlic (pressed)

1 cup yellow onion (diced, about ½ of one large onion)

1 cup shredded carrots (about 2 large carrots)

1 cup shredded zucchini (about 1 large zucchini)

1 lb lean ground beef

½ tsp salt

¼ tsp black pepper

1 tsp onion powder

1 tbsp italian spice blend

2 cups marinara sauce

1 cup milk of choice

Instructies

In a large pan over medium-high heat, add olive oil. Once hot, add garlic, onion and shredded carrots and zucchini. Saute, stirring frequently until fragrant and onions appear translucent in colour (about 3-4 minutes).

Add ground beef, salt, black pepper, onion powder and Italian spice blend. Cook until ground beef is no longer pink in colour (about 5 minutes). Drain excess oil if desired. Stir in spinach and cook until leaves just begin to wilt ( this will happen quickly).

To the pan, add marinara sauce, milk, beef broth and dry pasta. Stir. Bring to a low boil, reduce the heat to medium-low and allow to simmer for about 15 minutes UNCOVERED (this will help create a thicker texture).

Stir in both cheeses. Garnish with basil or parsley if desired.
