I have a spaghetti sauce recipe, somewhere,…. that calls for
carrots. Yes, the recipe actually has that. It thickens the sauce
and sweetens it. I made it years ago at my sister’s house, and her
carrot-hating husband loved the sauce. The only problem was that
when we used the food processor, it left just a few chunks of
carrot. Of course, one of the showed up in his plate. When we owned
up to what it was, he looked at it for a few seconds, glanced at
their daughter, then with a grin decided to set a good example and
tried it. He was amazed that the liked carrots cooked in
tomatoes. He also told me to give a copy of that recipe to my
sister, it was the best sauce he had ever had on spaghetti.
There are actually recipes out there that call for these vegetables
to be added.
