Notes
Notes:
Making homemade sauce with your favorite vegetables is going to be your new “thing”. This makes an amazing pasta sauce and it’s great for the whole family. This recipe is perfect for kids who aren’t running to eat their vegetables. I have that issue in my house! When making your own pasta sauce for kids, add it on top of their favorite pasta and also sprinkle parmesan cheese. You can omit the cayenne if you’d like to make it more toddler friendly.
This method can be used to make baby food as well. Think roasting some Brussel sprouts, sweet potatoes or carrots. Roasting vegetables and turning it into a sauce is great way to use up any extra vegetables from the week.
Use a food processor, blender or NutriBullet to blend the sauce.
Once blended, add a tablespoon of olive oil in at a time until you reach desired consistency.
Storing:
Store any leftover sauce in an airtight container and place in the fridge for up 3-4 days. You can freeze this sauce in a freezer safe container. Use within one month to retain freshness.
