Have a lot of tomatoes sitting on your counter that need to be used up before they go bad? That’s the situation I found myself in a few days ago. When we were up at my parents’ house for Labor Day, we were given lots of tomatoes!
Yeah, we kind of hit the jackpot of fresh produce while we were there! Having all of that fresh produce was great, but we couldn’t eat it fast enough!
I had found a way to use all of the beans, corn, and radishes, but I still needed a way to use the tomatoes and summer squash. I had never tried making my own spaghetti sauce, so I figured now was as good of time as any! 🙂
I love hearty spaghetti sauce that is loaded with veggies, so I set out to make a nice hearty sauce using the vegetables I had on hand. Those vegetables happened to be green peppers, carrots, and summer squash.
I guess I could say it was a success, because the first thing my husband said after taking a bite was, “This is going on the make again list, right?” 🙂
This sauce is plenty filling by itself and makes for a great meatless meal when paired with whole grain noodles. My husband didn’t even mind not having meat present!
Have a great weekend everyone, and if you have tomatoes that need to be used up, give this spaghetti sauce a try! 🙂

Hi, I was wondering if you have ever canned this before? If so, how many pounds of pressure and for how long? Thanks

I'm sorry, but I have not tried canning this sauce.

Looks delicious. Instead of using fresh tomatoes can you use store bought can tomatoes instead and how much? I have some cans of tomatoes diced, stewed etc and i would like to use them up and this sounds like a perfect recipe to do so.

I made this tonight and tried some before I canned. I added a bit of sugar. Idea from another website to deal with acid. I added everything except onions cause I'm not a fan of them. Added zucchini because I have a ton to use up. I cut the recipe in half though cause i didn't have 10 cups of tomatoes.

We LOVE this sauce (and I'm an somewhat of a connoisseur of pasta sauce)! We made it during the summer with our garden vegetables and just ate the last of what was frozen. I'd like to make it this winter to bring a little taste of summer to our table. Any idea how many tomatoes I'll need to equal 10 cups? Thanks for sharing this wonderful recipe.
