Peel and finely dice the onion. Heat olive oil in a deep pan and briefly fry the onion. Add the minced meat and fry until well-cooked, then season with salt, pepper and paprika. In the meantime, peel and coarsely grate the carrots, add to the minced meat mixture and fry, then season again. Wash and coarsely grate the zucchini and add to the mixture, fry, then season again. Roughly dice the peeled tomatoes and add them, along with the rosemary and oregano. Simmer over a low heat until tender (approx. 25-30 minutes). Meanwhile, cook the pasta in salted water according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain the pasta in a colander, season the Bolognese well (to taste), and stir in tomato paste if desired, until the sauce is thickened. Serve the pasta on a deep plate, pour the sauce over it, and sprinkle with Parmesan cheese.
