You can of course cut this recipe in half if you do not want to make so much. But I think it is a frugal and time-saving idea to make a big batch for later.
Also our family likes this sauce chunky. However, when my kids were littler they would balk at the big chunks of veggies so I would just run this in my blender to smooth it out some. Now that the kids are older they don’t mind the veggies. So feel free to blend it up to suit your texture needs. Either way it is still healthy and delicious! This recipe is vegetarian, vegan, low-fat, low sugar, low sodium, gluten-free and full of flavor!
