Easy Roasted Vegetable Blender Pasta Sauce
Ingredients

- 2 carrots cut into large chunks
- 1 small onion chunked
- 8 cloves garlic
- 1 red pepper chunked
- 1/4 cup avocado oil
- fresh herbs oregano, basil, thyme
- sea salt to taste, I would start with 1 teaspoon
Instructions
- Toss all the vegetables and herbs of choice with the avocado oil.
- Roast in a 350 degree oven for about 45-60 minutes until vegetables are tender and sweet.
- Place the whole kit and kaboodle (in two batches if necessary) into the , I blended for about 2 minutes. Alternately, you can use a food processor. Process until creamy and the tomato peels are undetectable. about 5 minutes.
- If the end sauce is a bit thin (will depend on which tomatoes and vegetables you chose), simply simmer over medium low heat on the stove to evaporate some water and condense the sauce to your preferred thickness!

Brilliant and so easy! I have used this recipe countless times with tomatoes from the garden. I’ve varied the recipe with different herbs like basil, oregano, lemon thyme, rosemary and even mint! The possibilities are endless.

Your pasta sauce looks delicious! I love how easy it is to make – perfect for busy nights.
Jen says
I LOVE this idea! Thanks for sharing. It’s great because you can vary it when certain veggies are not in season (like tomatoes) and use less of them and more of the others, like root veggies. I am running low on my stash from last season and am looking for a way to stretch those tomatoes until the next harvest!
Tessa Domestic Diva says
Thanks jen! I love recipes that people be creative…it’s fun to see what happens and how flavors marry…at least for me! I guess that is why I am food blogger, lol! Things like that are exciting for me!
