Chop up the onion and garlic gloves very finely, carrot and celery a little bit bigger and zucchini again slightly bigger than the rest. (see picture above)
Cooking
Heat up a medium sized pot and add olive oil, onion and garlic. Let cook for 1-2minutes.
Then add carrot and celery together with mixed dried herbs. Stir and let cook for another minute.
Now add zucchini, stir and let cook for a minute.
Add tomato sauce from the can, stir and let simmer for about 15 minutes.
In the mean time boil a pot of water with a few pinches of salt. Once the water is boiling, add your favourite pasta and cook for the recommended time (actually, cook the pasta about 3 minutes less than the recommended time and try it - pasta is best al dente and the recommended time on the packaging usually overcooks the pasta).
2 minutes before the pasta is cooked, add freshly chopped tomatoes and chopped basil to the sauce and season it with salt and pepper to taste.
Once the pasta is cooked, drain the water and serve together with the sauce. Add some basil on top for garnish if you like. Enjoy!
