Shortcut Beef and Vegetable Ragu

1. Begin with cooking your spaghetti squash. Once that begins to cook start on the beef skillet. (Halve, Season with Salt, pepper, and oregano and bake at 400 degrees for 45 minutes) 2. Heat a large skillet or pot over medium heat and add the ground beef. While it is beginning to brown, add the onion and garlic to the food processor and pulse until finely chopped. Add to the skillet. Season with salt and pepper. 3. Add the carrot, celery, and mushrooms to the food processor. Pulse until minced. Add to the skillet and season with salt and pepper. 4. When the ground beef is no longer pink and the vegetables are tender, add the marinara sauce and chicken broth, stirring to combine. Reduce heat slightly and place a lid partially on top of the skillet. Simmer for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. 5. Stir in fresh basil. Taste and re-season with more salt and pepper, if necessary. Serve over cooked pasta or spaghetti squash. Makes about 4-6 servings.
