A hearty, robust vegetable pasta sauce where no vegetables are in sight! Excellent for the fussy toddler or child that loves pasta with comforting tomato sauce. The hidden vegetable component in this sauce makes life easier for you and your children. It’s a win-win situation, where you are providing them with their vegetable intake and they are simply getting their lovely tomato pasta sauce and penne!
So very tasty and good for you! My little ones devoured this and wanted more. I hope your precious stars enjoy it as much as mine did!
Have a beautiful weekend! Much love D x
