Vegetable Pasta Sauce image

A cousin of mine in Minnesota was the first one in our family to make this meatless spaghetti sauce. She passed down the recipe to various relatives over the years, and it's become a mainstay in my family. With its veggies and great garlic and herb flavor, you don't miss the meat in this thick sauce.
