Can you see all the veggies in this sauce? No? My kiddies couldn’t either! 

I have a young baby so quick and easy dinners are a must for my older two. I make a big batch of this and make sure I have plenty leftover to freeze for a super quick dinner on the nights the baby is unsettled or I have run out of energy. 
  
The sauce is very versatile: 

  • The kiddies love this sauce over macaroni or spaghetti pasta. Why not try zucchini noodles?
  • Use leftovers in some puff pastry as a pie filling for something different. 
  • Serve in toasted sandwiches along with some cheese and sliced tomato.
  • Serve as a “sloppy joe” type burger. 
  • Turn it into a cottage or shepherds pie.

The tmx can often produce very fine and somewhat mushy mince. If you are concerned about the texture of mince dishes you can cook the mince in the steaming basket.
