Vegetable Pasta sauce

[Guest guest]

I made this yesterday for lunch.

 

I took about 1 1/2 lbs zucchini, sliced it into rounds, and dipped

the rounds into cold water.

I layered these rounds in a deep skillet, and topped with 2 cups of

spicey pasta sauce, & 1/2 cup of cool water. I added a pinch of salt

and generous amount of pepper.

Also added 1 small chopped white onion, and 1 large carrot, chopped.

I brought this to the boil, then simmered for about 1 hour or so.

Once the veggies were nice and soft, I added 2 cups cooked tortellini

(filled with riccotta cheese), and 1 cup of chopped frozen broccoli.

I let this simmer until the broccoli was warmed and the sauce had a

great taste.

 

Served this and was impressed with it Amazing what you can do when

you have next to nothing in the fridge and cupboards
