This is a great way to eat lots of veggies. Although I followed the recipe this time, I can see using this as a base recipe to alter depending on ingredients you have on hand, and adding some herbs and/or spicy peppers. I have to admit that I was tempted to skip the blending process because the roasted veggies were so beautiful.

It's amazing this ever reached the sauce stage. The roasted vegetables tasted so-o-o-o good straight out of the oven that I just kept eating them out of the pan. The balsamic vinegar gives this a special flavour. I also added a diced bell pepper and some roughly chopped eggplant. I've posted two photos -- the vegetables to be roasted and then the sauce. Yummo!

*Reviewed for PAC Spring 08* Loved this sauce. The longest time during the cooking process was waiting for the oven to heat to the required temperature. I think that measurements wouldn't need to be precise for this recipe. A really tasty and definitely filling pasta sauce. Loaded with taste, fibre and vege goodness. Hope to post a pic for you too. Thanks DreamoBway for another great recipe :) :) :) :) :)

This is a picture of my boyfriend and me at my company's fancy holiday party in December 2007.
I graduated with my BA in musical theatre a few years ago. I'm now living in the big city doing the 9-5 thing while I try to make this acting thing work. Theatre and singing (and my boyfriend!) are what fire me up, but cooking is what chills me out. I love to come home and try a new recipe. In August 2006 I was diagnosed with a gluten allergy, and I've also been diabetic since the age of 14 so food can sometimes be a challenge; but I love experimenting in the kitchen and finding new options.
