Colorful, light, and genuine: the vegetable sauce is a classic homemade dish, perfect for dressing pasta, rice, or using as a base for one-pot meals. This recipe is my simple but tasty version, ideal for getting children to eat more vegetables, and to creatively clear out the fridge. A vegetarian, versatile, and fragrant dish that brings the goodness of homemade cooking to the table.
This vegetable sauce is a true kitchen ally: healthy, quick, and adaptable in a thousand ways. Prepare a large batch and store it in the fridge or freezer, or in sterilized jars as I did, and you’ll always have a ready-made, homemade condiment with natural ingredients.
