If you’re looking for a hearty, vegetable-packed dinner that feels comforting and wholesome, this Roast Vegetable Pasta Sauce is it. With just a handful of ingredients and a few easy steps, you’ll have a deeply flavorful sauce that tastes like it simmered all day.

The magic is in the roasting. As the eggplant, tomato, carrots, and red bell pepper cook in the oven, their natural sugars caramelize and intensify. Garlic softens and sweetens, tying everything together into a rich, savory blend. Once pureed, the result is silky, vibrant, and incredibly satisfying.

Ingredients

  • 1 eggplant, cubed

  • 2 cloves garlic

  • 1 large tomato, cut into 6 wedges

  • 1 red bell pepper, chopped

  • 1 cup carrots, chopped

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil

  • 1/2 cup tomato sauce

  • 1 pound pasta (tortellini, ziti, or penne work well)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F.

  2. Place the eggplant, garlic, tomato, bell pepper, and carrots on a large baking dish or sheet pan. Drizzle with olive oil and toss until evenly coated.
