Shhhh, It’s (Hidden Veggie) Pasta Sauce by Meg Resnikoff March 21, 2018

Some people don’t believe in hiding veggies in their kid’s food.  I get it.  But I have a picky eater and if I can sneak in extra nutrients without her knowing, I’m all for it.  Some day maybe I’ll be able to reason with her, but until then, this pasta sauce rocks.

INGREDIENTS

• 1 lb pasta of your choice
• parmesan cheese
• olive oil
• ½  onion, chopped
• 1 clove garlic, chopped
• 1 carrot, chopped
• 3-4 slices orange pepper, chopped
• Cauliflower (either ¼ cup riced or a few florets)
• 1 28 oz can crushed tomatoes or a jar of pasta

DIRECTIONS

1. Heat olive oil and add all veggies. Saute until soft.
2. Add crushed tomatoes and simmer 15-20 minutes until soft.
3. Puree sauce with immersion blender, adding water to thin out and smooth if necessary.
4. Cover pasta in sauce and add cheese!
