Here is how you make Throw-Together Spaghetti Sauce:

1. Place all of the veggies in a food processor; pulse until finely ground (about the consistency of crumbled ground beef). Warm large pot over medium heat; add olive oil, ground veggies and ground beef. Cook until veggies start to soften, and meat starts to cook.2. Dump in everything else, and simmer 'til you're starving.
