SAUCY MEDITERRANEAN STEAK & PASTA Nothing could be easier to prepare than this effortless one pot meal. The pasta cooks in the sauce. Top with your favourite garnish.

Prep Time: 5 min. Cook Time: 15 - 20 min.   1 lb 500 g Beef Stir-Fry Strips or Inside Round or Sirloin Tip Steak, cut into thin strips 1 1 jar (750 mL) chunky pasta sauce 2½ cups 625 mL penne or rotini pasta 2 2 medium zucchini, thickly sliced

Heat a large oiled deep saucepan over high heat. Add beef; cook and stir just until beef loses its pink colour, about 1-2 minutes. Remove beef from pan. Add pasta sauce and 1¾ cups (375 mL) water to saucepan; bring to boil. Stir in pasta, cover and simmer over low heat, stirring occasionally for 8 minutes. Stir in zucchini, cover and cook 2-3 minutes until zucchini is tender crisp. Stir in beef and heat 1-2 minutes until hot. Garnish with crumbled feta cheese, grated Parmesan cheese or sliced olives, if desired and serve with salad. Makes 4 servings. TIP:  Removing beef from skillet while heating sauce and cooking moist ingredients like zucchini, keeps meat tender and prevents overcooking.
