Pasta Primavera Sauce

Prep Time: 20 Mins.
Serves: 4-7 (depending on age, gender, and hunger level of your guests!)

You will need...
*1/3 cup olive oil
*1 large carrot
*1 large zucchini
*1 large squash
*2 cups broccoli (The only pre-cut, frozen vegetable to use. All others should be fresh!)
*15-20 grape tomatoes (or 10 cheery tomatoes, you decide)
*1/2 yellow onion
*3 cloves of garlic
*Cayenne Pepper
*Basil
*Parsley
*Sea Salt
*One jar of your preferred red sauce (I prefer Classico Fire-Roasted Tomato and Garlic)
*1/2 jar of your preferred alfredo sauce ( I prefer Classico Creamy Alfredo)

Preheat olive oil in a large frying pan over medium heat. Begin thinly slicing/chopping vegetables in the order written. As you are chopping, begin adding + stirring vegetables immediately as you continue, allowing the carrot to begin cooking first as it will take the longest, etc. Add sprinkle of salt. OCCASIONALLY STIR. After adding the broccoli cover and allow to simmer while you continue chopping, adding, stirring.
When all vegetables are fully steamed (soft, coming apart, etc.) pour into large sauce pan. Add full jar of red sauce, and 1/2 jar of alfredo sauce. Add light sprinkle of Cayenne pepper. (Spicy warning: Add depending on how much your taste buds can handle. A small amount is not spicy, only flavorful, but it builds up quickly) Add generous amounts of basil and parsley. Turn on heat to medium high and allow to steep + stew for a minimum of 10 minutes.

Pour over your favorite pasta or dip with you favorite bread and Enjoy!
