Simple Roasted Garlic Pasta Sauce

Hey PUL team, I’m hoping to give this recipe a try and avoid using bouillon cube. 😗
What would you recommend to substitute it with?

Heyy Simran! You can skip the bouillon cube and season with salt to taste (start with a small amount and add more as needed). If you’d like, you can also add a pinch of black pepper or a bit more Italian seasoning 🤗 And feel free to splash in a little veggie broth or water when blending if needed. Hope this helps✨

Oh great! Many thanks for the suggestion ❣️😇

I’ve given this recipe a try without the cube and it turned out great! Loved how it tastes and it’s such a versatile sauce to add anything into it!

This is gonna be a pantry staple 😙

Throw in a few peppers & double the garlic. Takes the sauce to another level!

A fresh, aromatic sauce that I really needed. You can also eat it as a soup with some breadcrumbs

Yum! This sauce is amazing. I’ll definitely do two bulbs of garlic next time. I paired it with with meatballs and PUL parmesan.

I've made this twice this week and filled up my freezer (it freezes great in silicone ice cube trays - I have large cube ones that each hold a cup so perfect size - then transfer to silicone resealable bags when frozen). The second time I wanted to add a bit of extra protein so I blended in a carton of silken tofu. Made a really creamy sauce and still full of flavour. Waiting to see how well the tofu version froze now - I've frozen soups with silken tofu in before so I think it will be fine. Great recipe!

Ooo thanks for sharing your experience with the pasta sauce, Krystle! We'd love to hear how the tofu version ends up. Happy cooking 🤗

So simple, yet so delicious! Thanks for another great recipe!!

Amazing

Great way to use up tomatoes from the garden! Delicious and easy to make!

Thank you, looks delicious !! Wanted to ask before making it: how do you store it in the freezer ?

Hey Lola, simply let the pasta sauce cool completely, transfer it to a container with lid that seals very well, and pop it in the freezer - that's it! ❄️🙌
