How do we say it in English no. 2: vegetables aren't needed

Hello there,

I've got a quick question regarding the following dialogue:

A: I'm going to the supermarket to buy some minced meat.
B: Great, I could make some spaghetti then.
A: Do you want me to buy any vegetables?
B: Nah, if we're going to have a spaghetti then we don't need veggies. This dish doesn't...

- require vegetables with it
- come along with vegetables
- go along with vegetables
- anything better; more native-like?

Thank you!

Perfect Strangerminced meat.
In the U.S., we would say "ground beef" (pork, veal, turkey, etc.).

In BrE, we say 'mince' far more often than 'minced meat, possibly to avoid confusion with 'mincemeat' - definition #1 here.
