This is a simple sauce with plenty of hidden vegetables – perfect for fussy children, or anyone really! Great to spread onto a pizza base or scrolls, or stir through pasta for some extra goodness.
1 red onion, quartered
1 garlic clove
10g extra virgin olive oil
400g tin tomatoes
120g carrot, roughly chopped
100g red capsicum, roughly chopped
80g celery stalk, cut into pieces
50g zucchini or broccoli
1/2 tsp Herbamare (*see below recipe if you don’t know what this is) or 5-10g vegetable stock paste
1 tsp honey
1. Place onion, garlic and oil in mixer bowl. Chop for 3 seconds/speed 5/MC on then sautefor 5 minutes/steaming temperature/speed 1/MC off.
2. Add tomatoes, carrot, capsicum, celery, zucchini, herbamare (or stock) and honey to the bowl. Chop for 6 seconds/speed 6/MC on. Scrape down sides of bowl.
3. Cook for 15 minutes/steaming temperature/speed 2/MC off, with the basket sitting on top of the lid to catch any splatters.
4. Blitz for 20 seconds/speed 8/MC on.
5. Allow to cool a little before using on pizzas.
*Herbamare is a herb salt that I use a lot in my cooking, it adds a good flavour to dishes, more so than plain salt. I especially love to sprinkle it on vegetables before I roast them, yum! You can purchase it at the supermarket.
NB. If you have a TM5 and would like a large amount, it is possible to double this recipe – you will need to increase cooking time to 25-30 minutes.

Super easy sauce and so good on pizza. Love the fact it has the extra veg for the kids pizza too! Way better than store bought!
Hi, do you know if you can double the recipe in the tm31? I make it all the time. Thanks
Yes you can double this in the tm31, I double checked by making a double batch last night in mine 🙂
Just made this, will never buy pizza sauce again, a bit hit with the children 🙂
Beautiful sauce! And so nutritious.

Great tasting sauce. Even loved by my extremely fussy 6yo. Thanks Bec.
What a delish and versatile sauce recipe! I love that it is tasty AND has veg in it too. Win win. Kids had it with pasta today and will be using it on your spelt pizza bases tomorrow. Thanks for sharing your recipes, they never disappoint.
