Notes

    • Not Vegan? Make this a meat sauce by adding ground meat. Make sure to cook the meat prior to adding the veggies and simmering the sauce. Mix in parmesan cheese or heavy cream for some variety.
    • Gluten-Free? This easy pasta sauce is already gluten-free, just pair with your favorite gluten-free pasta and you're good to go!
    • Oil-free? Omit the EVOO when sauteing the vegetables and this will be an oil-free pasta sauce.
