Veggie Skettie Sauce

Ingredients

2 - cans (or one big one) of crushed tomatoes
2 - 8 oz. cans tomato sauce
1 - can tomato paste
2 - large carrots
1 - onion
1 - bell pepper
3 - cloves garlic
basil, oregano, salt and pepper to taste
2 - tbs. olive oil

Directions

Dice onion, bell pepper, carrots and garlic. Heat olive oil in a pan over medium heat. Sauté onions, bell pepper and carrot until tender. Add garlic and sauté a minute more. Add tomatoes, tomato sauce and paste. Add salt, pepper, basil and oregano to taste. cover and simmer at least 20 minutes. The longer the better. This recipe makes enough sauce to mix with 1lb. of pasta.

*Tip: This will be a chunky sauce. If you're trying to fool kids into eating veggies I'd recommend blending it in a blender (or using a stick blender) to break up the chunks.
