Making Vegan Sauces: Tips

Pick out a couple sauces to make each week (they store well in the fridge and are super versatile for serving with salads, bowls, tacos, leftovers, etc.). Great for meal prep!

Vegan sauces couldn&#39;t be easier to make - ready in under 5 minutes with only a few pantry ingredients in most cases. Pro Tip: Read through the sauce recipe first as some may require pre-soaking nuts or pressing tofu, etc.

Use this nomato sauce for a nutritious tomato sauce alternative that’s gluten-free, dairy-free, nightshade-free, anti-inflammatory, and full of nutrients!

Nomato Sauce Recipe (Tomato Sauce Alternative)

olive oil

onion

garlic garlic

beets

carrots (1-2 large carrots)

Italian seasoning

oregano

salt

pumpkin

parsley

Optional add-ins: 1 Tablespoon pitted diced olives, capers, or nutritional yeast

Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onions and sauté about 10 minutes or until tender and golden brown. Stir in minced garlic and sauté until fragrant or about 1 minute.

Add in the beets, carrots, Italian seasoning, oregano, and salt and stir together. Add 1 cup vegetable broth. Cover and cook over medium heat until carrots and beets are fork-tender or about 20 to 30 minutes (the broth will almost be gone). Once cooked, transfer the ingredients in the pot to a blender. (See photos in blog post.)

To the blender, pour remaining 1/2 cup broth and pumpkin puree. Blend until smooth. Alternatively, add remaining 1/2 cup broth and pumpkin puree to the pot and use a stick blender to blend into a puree. (For thinner pasta sauce, increase amount of broth to reach desired consistency.)

Add the fresh parsley, lemon juice and/or balsamic vinegar, and optional add-ins, to the blender and blend again until smooth.

Pour the sauce back into the pot (when using the blender) and simmer over medium heat for 10 minutes.

Store in a sealed container in the fridge for up to a week or freeze for up to 1 month.

This is so smart! Thank you so much for making this. I am making this for my dad who can't tolerate night shades!

This sauce in so delicious! It is such a great alternative to tomato based sauces, a fabulous recipe!

So thankful for this awesome recipe. I like this better than tomato sauce. Its filling, high fiber and very nutritional. Add it to some gf pasta and steamed veggies. So good and healthy. Thanks again

Just made this sauce and I love it. It's like extra tasty tomato sauce. So pleased I found it, because I can no longer eat tomatoes as they make my eczema flare badly, and having a seven year old we eat pasta and sauce at least once a week. Thanks so much for sharing this

Yes, beets are not in the night share family. However, they're high in oxalate acid and calcium binds to oxalate acid and builds up in kidneys, arteries and other organs, muscles, tendons etc. I stay away from foods in both catogories.

I am SO excited to find your recipe for Nomato Sauce! I have "silent reflux" and was told to not eat ANY tomatoes, cooked or raw. My reflux is better, but for over a year I have been missing one of my favorite vegetables, and I crave the taste of marinara sauce. I made your sauce for the first time today, and served it with spaghetti squash. It was delicious! Thank you so much for creating this recipe so people like me can still enjoy the taste of tomatoes. I am over the moon with gratitude!

Finally! A tomatoless tomato sauce! I gave up trying to find one years ago, but sheer frustration (almost every recipe calls for tomatoes) I searchec again. I've got to say rhis recipe actually tastes quite like tomatoes! Thank you for creating this recipe. 

I put red food coloring in mine to get that red color we are all familiar with, because mine turned out more orange otherwise. The result looks beautiful.

I’m the only one who can’t do nightshades, but this sauce is a hit for my entire household. Great recipe, thanks!

i want to try this recipe! most vegtable broths have either tomato and or peppers. what would be a substitute?

This Nomato Sauce is an absolute game-changer! 🙌🍝 I've always loved the flavor of tomato sauce but unfortunately have dietary restrictions that don't allow me to enjoy it. That's why I'm so grateful to have discovered your amazing website and this incredible nightshade-free alternative. The Nomato Sauce is bursting with rich, savory flavors that perfectly mimic the taste of traditional tomato sauce, without any of the nightshade ingredients. It's a true culinary masterpiece! Whether I'm making pasta, pizza, or even dipping my favorite snacks, this sauce adds a burst of deliciousness to every dish. Thank you for creating such a wonderful solution for those of us who have been missing out on the classic tomato sauce experience. Your website is now my go-to resource for flavorful and allergen-friendly recipes. Kudos to you and your team for this genius creation! 🌟🍅

Delicious in stuffed peppers and on pasta. Really good marinara flavor. Glad to have found a substitute sauce since I can no longer eat tomatoes.

My husband loves it!  So exited to be able to make other tomato based dishes!  I tripled the recipe as a 1/4 cup serving isn't going to be enough.  He eats no less than 1-1/2 cups of spaghetti sauce at a meal!
Thank you so much, this is a game changer!!!

I gave this recipe a try.  It was fabulous!  The ingredients were easy to source and instructions were easy to follow.  After more than a decade of NOT having tomatoes or tomato products, I was amazed!  So amazed, I called every available neighbor to my kitchen to "TRY THIS!" and shoved a spoonful of it into every willing mouth I could find.  Everyone was so happy!  One went to kiss me on the cheek afterwards, but then stopped thinking from the "after taste" that it would be safe for me to be near them.  It was safe.  No reaction.  No throat closing, no epi pen, no visit to the ER required!  Plus, I can really work with this recipe to use it for other things I love.  I found the consistency of your recipe PERFECT at the stage after cooking the veggies for me to use as a substitute for any of the recipes I used to be able to make from tomato paste.  I'm freezing one batch of this recipe at that stage, minus some of the seasonings, so I can use it for taco sauce and other tomato-paste related recipes.

I cannot believe how good this turned out and how easy it was to follow the recipe! I was at first pretty intimidated (making a tomato sauce without tomatoes sounded complicated) but it was so simple and tasted divine! My favorite dish is pasta &amp; sauce so for me to love it means a lot! My husband’s eczema flares up so bad when I make anything with tomatoes so I’ve been searching for a way to make tomato free sauce which seemed impossible…this recipe was such a hit! I doubled it and we have been eating this sauce with everything. Dipped chicken fingers in it. Ate it with rice. Made the best meatballs I ever made in this sauce. Thank you!!!
