Spaghetti Sauce with Extra Vegetables

I have been inspired by Jamie Oliver's Food Revolution and a couple cooking classes that I have taken to cook more from scratch. It really isn't that hard, and it provides a great opportunity to make it healthier.

Last night we had Spaghetti with Extra Vegetable Sauce.
