hidden veggies in pasta sauce

- add veggies such as carrot, cauliflower and green pepper (what ever your picky eaters have a hard time with) mixed with a bit of tomato sauce in the OmniBlend. 
- add the veggie puree to the remaining tomato sauce, the sausage or meat balls and sauteed veggies that your children will eat. 
- heat just until warmed through as to keep as many vitamins in the sauce. 
- serve over spaghetti or spiral pasta. 

I found that by adding a variety of veggies to tomato sauce, it helps to reduce the acidic taste in my pasta sauce, rather than just plain tomato sauce. I also believe that if your children get used to the taste of veggies without even knowing it, that they will begin to accept and even enjoy them in their whole form!

a little fact that I have just learned...cauliflower is rich in omega 3 fatty acids....cool hey?

Enjoy!
