Perfect Pasta Sauce for kids...

I was given this recipe from a friend. Not only does it taste delicious but it is a perfect way to get a good portion of vegetables (especially fantastic for my fussy child who won't eat veg!).

1 small onion
1 crushed garlic clove
75g of chopped carrots
75g of chopped courgette
75g of chopped mushrooms
400g can of tinned chopped tomatoes
125ml of vegetable stock
1/4 tsp sugar

How to make it....

• Heat some olive oil in a saucepan, then add the onions and garlic and saute for a few minutes.
• Add the carrots, courgettes and mushrooms and cook until softened (about 15 mins)
• Add the tomatoes, stock and sugar and simmer for 10 minutes
• Once cooked blend to a puree

This sauce is also perfect to freeze. I often make double or triple the quantity and then freeze in large ice cubes trays. I can then take a few cubes out at a time.
