Roasted Butternut Squash Red Pepper Tomato Marinara over Hearts of Palm Pasta
This marinara sauce is an excellent variation from just regular tomato based marinara. It will freeze well.
I used a Trader Joe product called “Hearts of Palm Pasta”. I garnished with some fresh basil. Believe it or not this entire dish is zero points on WW!!!! (and vegan)

Roasted Butternut Squash Red Pepper Tomato Marinara over Hearts of Palm Pasta
INGREDIENTS :
• 1 large butternut squash (Peel, remove seeds and chop into medium size cubes about 1 inch)
• Fresh tomatoes (Combination of any kind of tomatoes. I used 5 large cocktail type but can substitute 2 Roma or bunch of cherry tomatoes. Really whatever you have on hand !)
• 1 medium/large red pepper
• 1/2 cup chopped red onion
• 1 TBS minced garlic
• 3/4 cup stock ( use vegetable stock as well. Use additional stock to get your desired consistency. I like mine a bit chunky!)
• 1 TBS apple cider vinegar
• 1 TBS Italian seasoning
• 1/2 tsp sage
• 1 TBS sea salt
• Fresh basil as garnish
• Red pepper flakes to taste (optional)
• Spray non aerosol olive oil
INSTRUCTIONS:
1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
2. Line a large rimmed baking pan with foil.
3. Place the whole pepper in the center of the pan and surround with the cubed squash and tomatoes.
4. Lightly spray with olive oil and roast on the middle rack for 45 mins. (The pepper and tomatoes will probably be finished first so you can remove them and leave the squash in until it’s fork soft).
5. While the veggies are roasting, in a small skillet sauté the chopped onions and garlic in some olive oil spray until they are translucent-about five minutes.
6. Once vegetables are finished roasting, allow them to cool a bit, remove the stem from the red pepper & add to blender or food processor.
7. Add the rest of the ingredients and the sautéed onion/garlic mixture.
8. Blend until desired consistency achieved (I used a blender on high purée for about 30 seconds).

Recipe Notes
Makes 3 servings each serving is zero points on Weigh Watchers
The hearts of palm pasta is a great substitute for pasta and this marinara sauce turned out to be one of my favorite things ever. I think I can be used in so many applications and it can be frozen as well. I will be making this again and again. This marinara sauce is phenomenal and no points whatsoever.
