Notes
- One serving contains 3 Blue Plan SmartPoints.
- Use a sharp knife to cut your veggies up nice and small so that they cook quickly.
- I love blitzing up this sauce and using it to add some classic southern flavor to lasagnas, veggie meatballs, and regular meatballs.
- I have kept this vegan by using vegan butter, but feel free to use regular butter if not vegan.
- You can use fire-roasted tomatoes if you prefer some extra flavor.
