I get to have the yummy mushroom flavour in my pasta sauce, the kiddos don't have to deal with the texture, and as an added bonus it adds extra veggies to the pasta sauce!

As far as mushrooms go, if I'm honest I didn't like the texture of mushrooms when I was little either!

I still serve them mushrooms in other meals, so that they are exposed to them in their whole un-hidden form, but I do love this pasta sauce as a quick family-friendly meal!
