  • olive or canola oil spray
  • 1 onion, finely diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, crushed
  • 500 g lean beef mince
  • 2 celery, diced
  • 2 carrots, grated
  • 2 x 400 g can no-added-salt diced tomatoes
  • 1/2 cup reduced-fat cheddar cheese
  • green side salad, to serve

Method

  1. Place spaghetti in a pot of boiling water on stove. Cook for 10 minutes.
  2. Spray a frying pan with oil.
  3. Gently cook onion and garlic until soft.
  4. Spray frying pan with a little more oil and brown mince, breaking up with a wooden spoon.
  5. Add in celery and carrot, reducing heat to medium, stirring constantly, for 3-5 minutes.
  6. Once vegetables have cooked through add tomatoes to pan.
  7. Stir over high heat for 5 minutes.
  8. Once spaghetti is cooked, drain the water and serve onto a dinner plate.

Variation: Replace half the mince with a can of lentils to reduce the cost and increase the veg.

Healthy tip!

Chilli, lemon and herbs add flavour - great alternatives to butter and salt!
