Description

Carrots, onions, and beets combine with savory herbs to make a "tomato" sauce that can be used over pasta. This sauce has the color, texture, and savoriness of a typical Italian tomato sauce while staying nightshade free. Used with AIP approved pasta, chicken, or pork, this is also a great base for many other soups and sauces.
