So I try to hide meat in it! But it doesn't always work (like today). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-hide-veggies-in-your-pasta-sauce#post-1111955 Thu, 26 Sep 2013 06:53:06 +0000 looch 1111955@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope, I am a purist. I only like sauteed onions and shallots in my tomato sauce.</p> <p>I make other kinds of veggie pasta, though, with peas, broccoli, primavera, etc. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-hide-veggies-in-your-pasta-sauce#post-1111835 Wed, 25 Sep 2013 23:30:10 +0000 Mrs. High Heels 1111835@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, I'll blend broccoli or cauliflower into mine! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-hide-veggies-in-your-pasta-sauce#post-1111830 Wed, 25 Sep 2013 23:21:16 +0000 pinkcupcake 1111830@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yup, I'll throw in peas, onions, mushrooms, carrots, and corn. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-hide-veggies-in-your-pasta-sauce#post-1111829 Wed, 25 Sep 2013 23:16:24 +0000 Ree723 1111829@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My standard pasta sauce is always loaded with veg anyway (carrots, capsicum, courgettes, onions, and usually a few other odds and ends) so LO, being the little pasta eating machine that she is, gets a healthy dosing of veggies every time we have pasta. I don't purée the veg, I just dice it in the food processor before adding it to the sauce and we're good to go! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-hide-veggies-in-your-pasta-sauce#post-1111814 Wed, 25 Sep 2013 22:48:44 +0000 Mrsjets 1111814@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Confetti: lol I'm guilty of this on occasion too! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-hide-veggies-in-your-pasta-sauce#post-1111808 Wed, 25 Sep 2013 22:39:39 +0000 Mrs. Confetti 1111808@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrsjets: that is so true - wish I wasn't so lazy - I just dump a jar of preggo and eat. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-hide-veggies-in-your-pasta-sauce#post-1111802 Wed, 25 Sep 2013 22:31:19 +0000 Mrsjets 1111802@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Confetti: ha, my LO doesn't either but it's good for us grown ups too :p </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-hide-veggies-in-your-pasta-sauce#post-1111798 Wed, 25 Sep 2013 22:28:06 +0000 Mrs. Confetti 1111798@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love the theory of this, but LO doesn't really love pasta sauce :/ </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-hide-veggies-in-your-pasta-sauce#post-1111795 Wed, 25 Sep 2013 22:27:13 +0000 Marfi 1111795@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@wonderstruck: Me too!

I also add chopped onion, celery and red pepper and simmer it for a couple hours to let it get all rich. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-hide-veggies-in-your-pasta-sauce#post-1111778 Wed, 25 Sep 2013 22:15:40 +0000 yoursilverlining 1111778@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LO is good with veggies, so I don't have to hide them for her to eat them, but she *loves* pasta sauce so I figure it's a vehicle for extra veggies. I make her pasta sauce out of pureed carrots, sweet potatoes, other veggie and then diced tomatoes. Free veggies!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-hide-veggies-in-your-pasta-sauce#post-1111766 Wed, 25 Sep 2013 22:07:47 +0000 wonderstruck 1111766@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No, I'm the ridiculously picky one in the family, so if those get snuck in everyone knows to not tell me about it, haha. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-hide-veggies-in-your-pasta-sauce#post-1111763 Wed, 25 Sep 2013 22:04:45 +0000 JoyfulKiwi 1111763@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>All the time! We add grated anything to our ground meat or pasta sauce. Carrots &amp; zucchini are our go-tos. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-hide-veggies-in-your-pasta-sauce#post-1111380 Wed, 25 Sep 2013 18:29:47 +0000 Rubies 1111380@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I purposefully add a bunch of veggies in my sauce because of the yummy factor! DD doesn't mind, either! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-hide-veggies-in-your-pasta-sauce#post-1111364 Wed, 25 Sep 2013 18:22:52 +0000 yin 1111364@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I usually add mushrooms, peppers, and onions because they taste yummy. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-hide-veggies-in-your-pasta-sauce#post-1111351 Wed, 25 Sep 2013 18:18:40 +0000 Mrs. Lemon-Lime 1111351@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Spinach, zucchini are the unusual ones. Peppers, mushrooms, and onions are pretty standard for us.</p> <p>I use carrots in my meatloaf mix. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-hide-veggies-in-your-pasta-sauce#post-1111341 Wed, 25 Sep 2013 18:15:48 +0000 Lindsay05 1111341@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh yes, onions, mushrooms, peppers.
