NOMATO SAUCE is a tomato sauce alternative created for people who follow the Autoimmune Protocol Diet or who are sensitive to nightshade vegetables such as tomatoes, peppers, and eggplant. This sauce recipe replaces traditional acidic tomato sauce with blended roasted butternut squash and beets that will give the flavor and color of traditional tomato sauce. The sauce will be perfect for topping zucchini noodles, kabocha squash, sweet potato toast, or spaghetti squash. The Instant Pot method makes it super easy and time-efficient to cook a batch for the whole week. The addition of bone broth makes it even more nutritious and flavorful. It's versatile, healthy and worth the little extra effort.
