Stir in the diced red and yellow bell peppers, zucchini, and grated carrot. Cook for 5-7 minutes until the vegetables are slightly softened.
Add the crushed tomatoes and tomato paste to the saucepan, stirring well to combine.
Season the sauce with dried oregano, dried basil, salt, pepper, and a pinch of red pepper flakes if you like a bit of heat.
Reduce the heat to low and let the sauce simmer for at least 20-30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together, stirring occasionally.
Taste the sauce and adjust the seasoning if needed.
Once the sauce has thickened to your desired consistency, remove it from the heat.
Serve the Veggie Pasta Sauce Italian over your favorite cooked pasta, such as spaghetti or penne.
Garnish with fresh basil leaves and a generous sprinkle of grated Parmesan cheese before serving.
