Tomato sauce replacement

Need a sauce for our faux orzo pasta. So we can a can of mixed vegetables and went from there.

Then we added a bit of oil and our favorite spices.  Of course the grinding came next.

To make the pasta, we made the noodle dough as usual, but used a cheese grater to make the rice like noodles.

  Then cooked and drained the noodles.

Add the sauce and the Parmesan cheese to the noodles and you are in heaven.
