You can make the meat into meatballs or break it up into crumbles. Put the meat in a large frying pan and turn it on medium low heat. As soon as the meat begins to brown, add the onion, garlic, bell pepper, and celery; sauté them in the fat coming off the meat.

When meat is browned and the onion translucent, stir in diced tomatoes, tomato paste, and water. Then add the salt, oregano, and Italian seasoning. Finally stir in the zucchini and mushrooms. Simmer 20 minutes while you cook spaghetti noodles.
