When I have a lot of extra veggies sitting around I like to make a red sauce for pasta. You can also serve it with chicken, over beans, or freeze it for later. Using fresh herbs adds really great flavor as well.
Red Sauce
Saute the following veggies in 2T olive oil until tender (about 10 minutes)
garlic
onion
carrots
celery
zucchinni
yellow squash
Add 28 oz can of plum tomatoes
1/2 C water or broth
Salt and pepper to taste
Fresh rosemary or oregano
Allow to simmer for 30 to 45 minutes. (The longer you simmer, the better it tastes.) You can either serve it chunky style or put 3/4 of it through a food processor. If you have finicky eaters who don't like whole veggies, definitely puree the mix and they will never know that they are eating squash! Sprinkle on parmesan cheese and enjoy!
