This Roast Vegetable Pasta Sauce creates a delicious, vegetarian meal that only takes a few steps to make. It’s super filling and jam packed with good-for-you vegetables.
I can’t even begin to tell you how incredible this sauce tastes. So good, in fact, that when I finished pureeing it, we all stood over the food processor eating spoonful after spoonful before we even mixed it in with the pasta. Even better, it only took me minutes to prepare, which is always great when you have a a million things going on. Simply chop up a bunch of veggies, roast them until tender then puree them all together!
I don’t know if it’s the particular mix of vegetables, the fact that all the produce comes straight from the farmers market or the that everything is roasted and caramelized in the oven, but whatever the reason, the taste of this Roast Vegetable Pasta Sauce is amazing. It’s so good that you could easily serve this recipe to a 10 month old as a puree minus the tomatoes (you don’t want to give them to babies under 1 year in case of allergies).

The vibrant colors in the vegetables create a sauce so rich and visually beautiful, the uses for it are endless. It’s so versatile you could spread it on toast, fish, chicken, pasta….or just eat it on a spoon like we all did! It’s also a great way to use up a plethora of vegetables you might have on hand! I like to make extra of this sauce and freeze it so we can have it ready to go when we’re in a pinch for a quick weeknight meal everyone loves.
