This really easy sauce is a great way to use up old veggies while getting a super healthy meal at the same time. The veggie-packed sauce can be had on its own with pasta or can replace the tomato sauce base for other dishes like bolognese or lasagne. Use whatever veg you have laying around and try to include as many different colour vegetables for maximum nutrition.
