This sauce was actually kind of an accident. I needed a tomato sauce and didn’t have enough crushed tomatoes on hand. But. I did have the previous nights’ vegetable tart. Which was just a low carb version of my Rustic Grilled Vegetable Tart. But when I made the tomato sauce from the leftovers, they were amazing! I think I’ll make it next time a hearty tomato sauce is needed. So it’ll be my third tomato sauce, all which have a different flavour base. The one I use for my lasagna is very fresh and light tasting. The puttensco has the olives, capers, and anchovies in it, which add a salty zip. And now this veggie one, which is packed with flavour.
