Tomato Pasta Sauce - with Hidden Veg!

Method

  • 1- Gently fry the onions until softened, add the garlic, celery, carrots and pepper and herbs and cook on a low heat until they have softened.

  • 2- Add the tins of tomatoes and cook slowly (with a lid added), stirring every so often. Add your sugar and seasonings and taste. Add more seasoning if needed.

  • 3 - Blitz the sauce and freeze individual portions for future use. This is a great standby and children love it - even though it's packed full of veggies!

  • If you don't want to freeze, just reduce the quantities listed here.

    • I cooked this for my 11 and 7 year old veg hating boys and didnt tell them about the vegs until they had polished it all off! They loved it, in fact we all did and not a 'yuk' to be heard! A lovely recipe and very easy to make.

    Like most parents, I am always trying to ensure to my children eat enough fruit and veg. To be honest, they love fruit, so no worries there. But my son went from eating vegetables to saying "yuk!"whenever presented with anything looking remotely veg Read More
