Tomato and Veggie Pasta Sauce image

This is from a Delicious magazine and a great way for kids to eat vegetables without knowing it. I add chopped parsley and basil to mine but little kids don't like "green bits". I puree the whole thing with a stick blender, but you may want to put the cooked tomatoes through a sieve to remove seeds and skins.
