This recipe has been in my family for as long as I can remember. When I was a baby, I was generally fed avocados, bananas and this pasta sauce…. And not much has changed since to be honest. This is a very simple, delicious, versatile and family-friendly pasta sauce recipe, which you can also use as a base for lasagne, a dip, or as a filling inside a wrap or sandwich. If you make this pizza recipe, you can use it as the sauce on top too.
One of the best things about this recipe is that it’s much healthier than even the ‘healthy’ pasta sauce recipes in the supermarket, AND it’s quicker to make this sauce than popping round the shops to buy a jar.
