We can highly advise you to make a big portion of this vegan, veggie packed pasta sauce. Keep small portions in your freezer for those times you just don't feel like cooking. Super nutritious, healthy and incredibly yummy! We served this pasta sauce with lentil pasta, which is great for those who are allergic to wheat. But you can totally go for regular pasta too.
