Golden Garden Pasta Sauce
Ingredients
- 2-3 cups of vine ripe tomatoes (large or small) and amount depends on how “tomato-y” you like your sauce!
- 1 small yellow onion
- 2 small zucchinis
- 2-4 garlic cloves (depending on how much garlic flavor you want)
- 1 tsp each: salt, pepper, thyme (preferably fresh), sage (preferably fresh)
- olive oil to roast / coat veggies
- 1c vegetable broth (more to thin as necessary- see instructions below)
- (I love making my own vegetable broth!)
- optional: milk or cream, Parm cheese to serve with pasta
Instructions
Meal Prep Directions:
- Finely chop all the veggies and refrigerate no more than 2 days in a reusable bag until ready to make
- If using homemade veggie broth – make ahead and refrigerate for up to 7 days
Meal Assembly Directions:
- pre-heat oven to 400
- add your prepped veggies to a baking sheet and drizzle with oil and seasonings, toss to coat
- roast for 20 min or until tomatoes have popped and veggies are softened/slightly charred
- cool slightly, add to a blender with veggie broth, blend on high until a puree forms. It should look more like baby food than a runny liquid, it’s ok to be thick, you can thin to desired texture when serving with reserve pasta water, milk or more broth.
