Veggie Pasta Sauce (with Beef)
This Veggie Pasta Sauce with Beef is absolutely delicious, hearty and loaded with veggies! I served it over chick pea pasta but you can keep it Whole30 and Paleo by serving it over hearts of palm pasta, spaghetti squash or even cauliflower rice. The veggies are diced so small that even picky little ones will love this sauce! You could also hide the veggies even more by adding them to a food processor rather than dicing them and incorporating into the sauce. This makes a nice big pot full so you may have some left over to freeze for another time.
