Method

1. Chop the onion and mushrooms, finely chop the celery and carrot, crush the garlic.
2. Spray the base of a large non-stick pan that has a lid with the oil. Add the mince and fry for 5 minutes, stirring to break up.
3. Add the chopped vegetables and cook, stirring frequently for another 5 minutes.
4. Stir in the tomatoes, tomato puree, and herbs.
5. Cover the pan and simmer for 40 minutes, stirring occasionally.
6. Serve with spaghetti cooked according to pack instructions/your taste.
7. This sauce gets even better if eaten the next day (refrigerate overnight), and is great for the freezer.

If you have calories to spare, sprinkle with fresh, finely grated parmesan for 12 cals per teaspoon (3g).
