I’ve been on the hunt for a good, healthy pasta sauce recipe that doesn’t have a lot of additives or sugar, something with lots of vegetables, and that my kids would eat. This one fits the bill!
You’ll need:
1 Onion (we like Vidalia, but any variety will do)
3 Carrots, peeled
2 Stalks of Celery
2 Red Peppers (I do one red, and one yellow or orange)
1 Yellow Squash
2 Cans Diced Tomatoes, undrained (fire roasted is good, but you could also choose other varieties)
Salt
Pepper
Seasonings to taste (garlic, Italian seasonings, parsley, or whatever seasonings you like)
Directions:
Chop onion, carrots, celery, peppers, and squash into large chunks and toss into a slow cooker. Add your seasonings and pour undrained cans of diced tomatoes on top. Using a sturdy wooden spoon, stir contents of slow cooker and set on high for around 8 hours.
Cook until vegetables are completely soft (no firmness left) and allow to cool a little. Transfer contents of slow cooker to a blender and blend until smooth. Salt and pepper to taste. Makes approximately 1 1/2 quarts of sauce.
