  • 1/4 cup yellow squash, diced
  • 1/4 cup zucchini, diced
  • 1/4 cup pureed carrot (2 jars of baby food is perfect for this)

How To Make Peek A Boo Pasta Sauce:

Pro Tip: Okra contains a compound called mucilage which thickens when heat is applied. The okra itself won’t change the flavor of your dish, but it will help it stick to the pasta better.
