Start by cooking one brown onion, cutting it into quarters instead of halves.

Weigh the onion to ensure it's 150 grams using kitchen scales.

Add 2 garlic cloves instead of 1 for extra flavor.

Include 150 grams of mushrooms and half a zucchini into the mix.

Put the lid on the Thermomix and blend for 3 seconds at speed 9 to chop the vegetables.

Scrape down the sides of the bowl after blending to ensure even mixing.

Add 20 grams of olive oil to the mixture and sauté for 5 minutes on speed 2 without the measuring cup on.

Pour in 50 grams of tomato paste and rinse the jar with 30 grams of water to get all the paste out.

Add 20 grams of Worcestershire sauce and 1 tablespoon of meat stock paste (chicken stock).

Include 1 teaspoon of dried oregano for seasoning.
