Notes
Tomatoes/ bell peppers can be replaced with any vegetables of choice (ie. zucchini, carrots etc.). I recommend adding at least 2 tomatoes into this sauce for a traditional tomato sauce taste, however the remainder of the vegetables can be replaced with 2+¼ cups of a variety of chopped vegetables.Milk can be substituted with vegetable broth or reserved pasta water if desired*I have included an estimation of the nutrition information for this recipe below.
