The Story Behind The Recipe
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 like, so I started making this vegetable based sauce for pasta, and also as a base for bolognaise and mild chili. He loves the sweet peppers and I know that he's getting a good amount of nutrients in his meal.
It freezes really well too and makes a great sauce for lasagne.
