Veggie Pasta Casserole

A great way to add veggies into our lives without "tasting" them

I found sauces to be a great way to "hide" veggies like cauliflower, spinach, zucchini, carrot, sweet peppers.

Homemade Spaghetti Sauce Ingredients:

10 tomatoes

½ red bell pepper

½ yellow or orange bell

1 C Spinach

1 C Cauliflower

1 Carrot

1 Zucchini

1 onion

2 minced garlic cloves

basil and/or parsley

Salt and pepper to taste.

Cut all ingredients and place into crock pot. Cook on low for 4 hours, high for 2 hours or until all ingredients are soft. OR cook on low/medium on stove top for 2 hours. Blend until desired consistency. Use, refrigerate or freeze until ready to use.

Casserole Ingredients:

1 pound cooked pasta of choice

2 C Cooked veggies of choice

2 Cups grated cheese of choice

1 jar of pasta sauce of choice to mix with above 2 C homemade sauce, if preferred

Optional: 1 LB Cooked and cubed chicken

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Mix all ingredients together and pour into baking pan. Bake 15-20 minutes or until desired crispness.
