LOTS O'VEGGIES SAUSAGE SPAGHETTI SAUCE
This Italian sausage and ground beef recipe is full of vegetables and Italian herbs -- the longer it cooks the better! Full of flavor, and makes a great base sauce for lasagna. It's critical to use fresh basil, other herbs may be dried. Do not use canned tomatoes which have any corn syrup in them. Home canned tomato equivalent is 3 quarts. If you want a spicier sauce add either crushed red pepper to taste or use hot Italian sausage.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F and line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Cut the spaghetti squash in half from top to bottom. Scoop out and discard the seeds. Place the squash on the prepared baking sheet cut-side up. Drizzle each half with about 1 1/2 teaspoons olive oil and season with a generous pinch of salt and black pepper. Turn the squash cut-side down and bake until a fork easily pulls the "spaghetti" strands away from the squash, about 40 minutes.
- In the meantime, start the sauce. Heat a Dutch oven or large pot over medium heat and add enough olive oil to coat the base of the pot, about 2 tablespoons. Add the garlic, carrot, celery and onion to a food processor fitted with the blade attachment. Pulse the vegetables until finely chopped. Add the vegetables to the heated pot and season with 1/2 teaspoon each salt and black pepper. Sauté the vegetables, stirring occasionally, until they soften, about 5 minutes. Re-attach the food processor bowl and add the mushrooms and zucchini. Pulse the vegetables until finely chopped but still with some texture. Add them to the pot with the other vegetables. Season with another 1/2 teaspoon each salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are soft and their natural liquid has mostly evaporated, 7 to 10 minutes.
- Add the milk and cook, stirring occasionally, until the milk is mostly evaporated, about 5 minutes. Next, add the red wine and cook, stirring occasionally, until the wine is mostly evaporated, about 7 minutes.
- Add the crushed tomatoes, basil, red pepper flakes, cheese rind and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Bring the sauce up to a low boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover the pot and simmer for 15 minutes. Remove the lid and let the sauce simmer for an additional 15 minutes. Remove the cheese rind and discard. Season the sauce to taste.
- To serve, add spaghetti squash to individual bowls and top with a big ladle of sauce, freshly grated Parmesan and torn basil.

VERY VEGGIE SPAGHETTI BOLOGNAISE
*UVC - "unidentifiable vegetable content". Posted across from bestrecipes.com.au - thanks Emma. This bolognaise has a lot of extra veggies hidden in the sauce - we've had no trouble getting our small kids to eat it. Can be done without the slowcooker step, but that's what really makes this recipe taste good. If your kids notice and refuse grated zucchini, peel the green off before you grate it. Sauce also freezes well for a quick meal on a busy night

Tips:
- Prep your veggies in advance: Chop and dice all your vegetables before you start cooking. This will save you time and make the cooking process smoother.
- Use a variety of vegetables: The more colorful your sauce, the more nutritious and flavorful it will be. Try using a mix of bell peppers, zucchini, carrots, mushrooms, and spinach.
- Don't overcook your vegetables: You want them to be tender but still have a little bit of crunch. Overcooking will make them mushy and bland.
- Season your sauce to taste: Add salt, pepper, and other herbs and spices to taste. You can also add a splash of red wine or balsamic vinegar for extra flavor.
- Serve your sauce over your favorite pasta: Spaghetti, penne, or linguine are all great choices. You can also use it as a topping for pizza or lasagna.
Conclusion:
This veggie-packed spaghetti sauce is a delicious and healthy way to get your daily dose of vegetables. It's easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy meal, give this recipe a try!
