Growing up Italian meant having pasta at least once a week. Some of my favorite memories were our Sunday dinners with an amazing Italian spread and extended family.
But now at 52, I really enjoy plant-based options this sauce option will not only satisfy your taste buds but give you all the feels of an Italian meal! This is totally inspired by my mom as she occasionally made it with zucchini and onions!
