Hidden Veggie Saucy Pasta

Step 1

Peel & dice the carrots.

Step 2

Rinse & dice the zucchini.

Step 3

Wash the bell pepper & cut around the seeds. Dice the pepper.

Step 4

Peel & dice the onion.

Step 5

Heat a drizzle of oil in a pan over medium-high heat. Add all the veggies with a pinch of salt. Stir & cover the pan to allow the veggies to steam for about 3-4 min until slightly softened. Uncover & add oregano. We love garlic powder here too! Stir & cook for 2-3 more min.

Step 6

Add the crushed tomatoes & stir it all together. Simmer for 5 more min the remove from the heat. As it simmers, boil a pot of water.

Step 7

Season the boiling water with salt. Add the pasta & cook according to package instructions.

Step 8

As the pasta cooks, add all the veggies to a food processor or blender & purée until smooth. Add a ladle of the pasta cooking water to thin it out if needed.

Step 9

Drain the pasta & add it back to the pot. Stir in the veggie sauce. If you have any parmesan cheese at home, grate that in along with some red pepper flakes for a nice kick! Serve & enjoy!
