Instructions
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Add the chopped onion and grated carrot. Sauté for about 5 minutes until the onion is translucent and the carrot is softened.

Lower the heat to a simmer and cover the skillet. Cook for about 15-20 minutes, occasionally stirring, until the sauce has thickened.
