And to be honest, I kept putting it off because even though I\u2019ve been making this sauce for years\u2026 it changes every single time! But that\u2019s what makes it so special\u2014it\u2019s the definition of a no-waste, use-what-you-have kind of recipe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Originally featured in our book <em><a href=\"https:\/\/wpcodex.xyz\/2026\/boobtofood\/book\">Toddler to Table<\/a><\/em>, this sauce is the perfect way to use up sad, forgotten veggies from the bottom of the fridge and turn them into something truly nourishing. With a few key ingredients\u2014onion or leek, garlic, fresh herbs, passata or tomatoes\u2014you can create a flavourful, freezer-friendly sauce that works for pasta, pizza, baked eggs and more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Add bone broth for a gut-supporting boost, or add in some frozen grated liver or a spoonful of bone marrow to gently support iron intake. It\u2019s delicious, adaptable, and an easy way to get more veggies into little tummies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Age suitable:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Suitable from 6 months+ (omit honey for babies under 12 months). Blend smooth for babies or serve as is for older children.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Serving suggestions:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Serve with meatballs, stirred into pasta, spread on pizza bases, or used as a base for shakshuka (baked eggs in sauce). Perfect for batch cooking and freezing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/wpstaq-ap-southeast-2-media.s3.amazonaws.com\/learn-boobtofood-1\/wp-content\/uploads\/media\/2021\/03\/Vege-Bomb-Pasta-1-scaled.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/wpstaq-ap-southeast-2-media.s3.amazonaws.com\/learn-boobtofood-1\/wp-content\/uploads\/media\/2021\/03\/Vege-Bomb-Pasta-1-683x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-32537\"\/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Storage tips:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Store in the fridge for up to 5 days or freeze in jars or portions for up to 6 months.
