Oh the colours!! This is my adaptation of a classic Italian dish. It’s vegan and nightshade free. My father’s been wanting me to make this sauce for so long and I’ve finally done it.
So many pearls of ancient wisdom of Ayurveda going through my min and one thing that stuck out was the avoidance of nightshade vegetables. I trying reduce it where I can but still taking baby steps each day.
I’ve substituted the traditional tomato marinara for a delicious carrot and beetroot sauce. The filling is usually mozzarella which I’ve changed to a butter bean and basil paste.
