This hidden vegetable sauce recipe for the Thermomix is a simple sauce that’s super versatile.
Having hidden veg makes it perfect for fussy children anyone!
Great to spread onto a pizza base or scrolls, or stir through pasta for some extra goodness. I also sometimes have it for breakfast with eggs, and Russ loves it for dinner with lamb chops.
This recipe also appears in my cookbook, Main Meals Made Easy, which you can check out here. It’s a book filled with dinner delights and is extremely popular amongst Thermomix owners.

This may sound stupid but how do I use this as a pasta sauce? How much do I use?
Love this sauce – I use it for the scrolls and for pizza based and it is a winner! No nasty ingredients, loads of veggies and delicious.

Hi there, would it be possible to use this sauce on nachos?
It’s possible, yes, but my 20 minute nachos would be best 🙂
Probably the best pasta sauce I have ever tasted, well done Bec !
Yum yum yum, 5 stars! This sauce is fabulous, I made it to go on the scrolls for school lunches. the kids have no idea they are eating a big serving of veggies. so tasty!!!
Hi, how long will this sauce keep for sorry?
Great pasta sauce recipe!!
I must be going crazy. I can’t see in the ingredients list how much ‘stock’ to add….
Oops! Method updated to line up with my cookbook but I mustn’t have updated the ingredients list – all fixed!
This has become a staple in our house, with multiple batches stored in the freezer for quick pizzas or pasta. Incredibly easy to make and tastes just as good with brown onion! Thanks, Bec!
