Several vegetables can work well as replacements. Here are some options, along with tips on how to use them:

Flavor Profile: Sweet and slightly tangy, without the acidity of tomatoes.

Usage: Red bell peppers can be used in salads, sauces, and stews. Roast them for a deeper, smoky flavor that can mimic the complexity of tomatoes in cooked dishes.

Preparation tips:

<ul><li>Raw: Chop and use in salads or salsas.</li><li>Roasted: Roast until charred, peel off the skin, and blend into sauces or soups.</li></ul>

Usage: Carrots can add sweetness and color to dishes like soups, stews, and sauces. They work particularly well when cooked and pureed.

<ul><li>Grated: Add to salads or use as a base for sauces.</li><li>Pureed: Cook until soft and blend into a smooth puree for soups and stews.</li></ul>

Bell peppers are another tasty addition to pasta bakes or homemade sauce.

Bell peppers are one of Montillo's favorite vegetables to add to pasta dishes.
