INGREDIENTS

1 onion, chopped

6 carrots, peeled and coarsely chopped

1 small beet , peeled and chopped

1 large garlic clove, minced

¼ cup extra virgin olive oil

1 cup water

 2 - 3 tbsp vinegar

Heat ¼ cup oil in a large saucepan over medium to medium-high heat.

Add onion and carrots and cook, stirring occasionally about 10 minutes until onions are tender.

Add garlic and stir just until aroma comes and then add 1 cup water.

Add beets, vinegar.

Bring to a boil.

Reduce heat and simmer, covered for 20 minutes until carrots and beets are soft.

Tomato-less pasta Sauce

A quick and healthy marinara sauce that is free of tomato, sugar, and alcohol.


1 tablespoon cooking oil oil

2 yellow onions , chopped

4 garlic cloves , minced

1 pound carrots , chopped

1 medium beet , chopped

1 cup water

1 teaspoon sea salt

2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice


Heat oil in a large pot over medium heat, and saute the onions until they are tender and golden, about 10 minutes. Add in the minced garlic and saute until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add in the carrots, beet, and water and bring the mixture to a boil. Cover and lower the heat to a simmer, cooking until the carrots and beets are fork-tender, about 30 to 40 minutes.

Carefully transfer the mixture to a high-speed blender, add the salt and lemon juice, and blend until smooth. (Be sure to cover the vent in the lid of your blender with a dishtowel to prevent the top blowing off from the pressure of blending hot liquids!) Taste the sauce and adjust any seasonings, as needed, including a dash of oregano and basil, if you like! You can also add additional water, if you'd like a thinner sauce.

 Sauce can be stored in a sealed container in the fridge for up to a week, or in the freezer for months.
