Rigatoni in a Roasted Veggie Tomato Sauce

Want to take basic tomato sauce and spruce it up? Roast your veggies before blending your sauce! It makes a world of difference when it comes to the flavour of the sauce and really adds a lovely roasted flavour to it.

I roasted some bell pepper, onion, carrot, and celery until tender and slightly charred and blended them into my tomato sauce along with a bunch of basil. The resulting sauce was super flavourful and vibrant thanks to the additional colours from the roasted veggies.

You could technically use any kind of pasta you'd like but I strongly suggest going with a pasta that has ridges so the sauce can seep into them. I went with Rigatoni because of the ridges and also because it's such a hearty pasta. One of my personal faves!
