2

Heat a drizzle of olive oil in a large pan over medium heat. Add ground beef and break up into pieces until browned but not yet cooked through, 3-4 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.

Cook veggies

Meanwhile, add onions and zucchini to pan. Toss until softened, about 5 minutes. Add garlic, Italian seasoning, and 1 TBSP soy sauce. Cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds.

Simmer ragu: Add tomatoes and ½ cup water. Bring to a boil, then simmer on low 5 minutes. Season to taste with salt and pepper. TIP: If you have more time, let ragu simmer longer for even more flavor.
