This pasta sauce without tomatoes is made with pur?ed beets and carrots. My husband can’t eat tomatoes, but with this sauce, we can still have Italian food once in a while. Serve it over cooked pasta or use it instead of canned tomatoes or tomato sauce in any recipe, just switch up the spices. I use it as a base for chili, goulash, and pizza too!
