Add Veggies to Tomato Sauce

Make your spaghetti healthier, tastier, and stretch farther using fresh, thin sliced carrot, and/or thin sliced zucchini. It adds color, and flavor to any tomato/pasta combo, and kids love it because the tomato disguises the taste of veges just enough to please their pallet. You will know they are getting their vitamins, and they will know it's still fun to eat!

When cooking up the spaghetti sauce, just add a cup of veges to it and cook till veges are softened. Fresh is best for flavor, but canned can certainly be used too.

RE: Add Veggies to Tomato Sauce

You can add any vegetable you want to spaghetti sauce. My usual choices are onions, carrots, celery, and any left over vegs. Just put in your blender with some of the sauce, and use the chop setting. Makes the pieces of vegetables small, but still nutritious. If your sauce gets too thick, add a little tomato juice or undiluted tomato soup.
