That's a good way to get extra vegetables on the table without the children knowing and I like the idea of using courgettes which I really struggle with if eating on their own.

ReplyDeleteI love homemade tomato pasta sauce - I usually make mine with a tin of tomatoes, Lea & Perrins sauce, stir-fried peppers and onions, sweetcorn and black pepper. Had a shop bought sauce today for speed sake and didn't like it now I'm used to home-made sauces!
