Vegetarian Pasta Sauce

Studentchef's Note:

I make this all the time. I use stewed canned tomatoes because it help saves time from using whole canned tomatoes, and then having to break it up. You can easily double it or halve it if you like.

Excellente !!! Easy to do and versatile. i love the chunkiness. My carrots came from the garden and I also used up 2 zucchini diced up. I used this on pasta but my DD will have it tonight on quinoa.

Good pasta sauce. It's chunky and thick, perfect. I did not chop the carrots but rather grated them very coarsely. I also used an Italian seasoning mix for the spices. Indeed nice flavours and easy, will make again. Thanks for posting.

I can see why you make this all the time! I love the oomph from the celery, and even added some chopped celery leaves in with the parsley. A chunky sauce like this needed some good shell-shaped pasta to scoop it all up. Thanks for lunch!
