Rich pasta sauce from your garden’s bounty.

Garden Pasta Sauce from Cosmopolitan Cornbread

Many years ago when we lived on Fort Bragg in military housing, I had a bountiful back yard garden. I grew everything from herbs and flowers to tomatoes and corn. But the kicker? Almost every last bit of it was grown in containers. In military housing you are not allowed to plant an “in ground” garden, but containers and raised beds are allowed. And buddy, my whole back yard was a garden.

So what do you do with all of that bounty? Well, one of the things I did was made this delicious pasta sauce. With carrots, onions, peppers and red wine, this meatless sauce has tons of flavor in it.
