How to Make Sneaky And Easy Homemade Pasta Sauce
- Heat olive oil in a deep saucepan over medium heat.
- Add chopped onion and minced garlic. Cook until softened and slightly translucent (about 5 minutes), stirring occasionally.
- Stir in the carrot and zucchini puree, crushed tomatoes, and tomato paste.
- Bring the mixture to a boil.
- Reduce heat to low and simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened to your desired consistency, stirring occasionally.
- Carefully transfer the sauce to a blender (in batches if necessary) or use an immersion blender to puree until smooth.
- Return the pureed sauce to the saucepan (if using a blender).
- Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
- **For Pink Sauce Variation:** Stir in 1/2 to 3/4 cup of soy milk. Simmer for another 5 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened.
- Serve immediately over your favorite pasta.
- Store leftover sauce in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week, or freeze for up to 6 months.
