Sneaky Spaghetti Sauce

"Excellent way to get some veggies into our picky little darlings. Can be refrigerated up to 3 days or frozen up to 3 months. When the kiddies were small I used to blend the veggies before adding to the sauce "so they couldn't see them" Excellent diabetic choice as well."

  1. We have a lot of veggies from our garden and this recipe was perfect. I used fresh tomatoes all the way. I simmered mine for several hours so the tomatoes would have a chance to really cook down and thicken. I skipped the turkey and made meatballs separately. We really enjoyed this sauce and will definately make it again. Thanks!
     
  2. OK, so I changed alot, but this recipe was a great inspiration! Didn't have zucchini, added orange bell pepper. Doubled red pepper flakes. Added about a tsp of sugar (I can't help it, I'm a southern girl!). Then I realized I didn't know my cabinets as well as I thought. Subbed canned spaghetti sauce for the tomatoes in puree and fire roasted crushed tomatoes for the diced. Sorry for changing your recipe so much, but I just wanted to let everyone know that this recipe is super flexible. I'll try again with the actual ingredients! Oh, and I blended all the veggies in my Magic Bullet and the kiddies never knew what hit them! Suckers!
