Colorful, light, and genuine: the vegetable sauce is a classic of homemade cooking, perfect for seasoning pasta, rice, or even used as a base for unique dishes. This recipe is my simple yet tasty version, ideal for getting kids to eat more vegetables and emptying the fridge with taste and creativity. A vegetarian, versatile, and fragrant dish that brings all the goodness of home cooking to the table.
This vegetable sauce is a true ally in the kitchen: healthy, quick, and adaptable in a thousand ways. Make a large batch and store it in the fridge or freezer, or in sterilized jars like I did, and you’ll always have a ready-made condiment, made with your own hands and natural ingredients.
