Hide the Veggies Pasta Sauce

"I make this ahead of time and throw it in the freezer but it is easy and fast to throw together for any day of the week. Good for hiding the veggies for the child who won't eat veggies like mine! You can add any vegetable. I have chosen the ones that I sneak in. Serve over any pasta."

  1. Mmmm...this was so good! And all the kids ate it (I invited my friend over, 5 kids total under the age of 6). I was so happy that the kids enjoyed it and got a healthy dose of veggies. I wouldn't say it tasted like a spaghetti sauce, but the flavor was wonderful! I think if you wanted a spaghetti sauce you might want to add italian seasonings and perhaps some spinach. I will make this again and again and will probably try some variations on the veggies in the future just for fun. This time, I made it exactly to the recipe except I left out the garlic.
     
  2. Thanks Tish for the pasta sauce recipe. I was in the mood to "hide a few veggies" from the family! I used the leftovers to make Tortellini Bolognese by Christmas Carol, and it was REALLY good. Roxygirl

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

I live in Las Vegas. I was lucky enough to run into Recipezaar around Nov. 2000 and got hooked quickly. I am a cookbook collector and have been collecting recipes for as long as I can remember. My DH had to build in shelves for all my cookbooks! I like to dabble with OAMC and for a few years hosted the Budget/OAMC forum with some great people over there. Even though I don't work in the forum any longer I've set up a lot of cookbooks for the purpose of OAMC and stretching food that might be helpful. Please feel free to check them out! I go on food jags and cooking jags! Please come say hi to me and chat on facebook. I currently host a blog for saving money through finding deals and coupons if you are interested. Most of the time I try to cook and have a good dinner on the table but I'll be honest enough to say there is still fast food occasionally in the budget! I have had such wonderful support here whenever I need it. Thank you all for being here! Just a quick note on how I rate recipes: ? 5 stars - This recipe is perfect. (My DH is truly a critic and doesn't give 5's unless it's amazing) I would recommend it to others and would definitely make again. ? 4 stars - This recipe was good but I would change something in it next time. ? 3 stars - This is a recipe I would not make again but it was OK ? 2 stars - This recipe I would not make again and we didn't like it at all ? 1 star - This recipes did not work out/taste was unappealing and wouldn't make again
