Not Worshipping Veggies Anymore 1 - Veggie Bolognese

I used some leftover prepared Italian tomato paste (I forgot the name) as the base of my spaghetti sauce. To my horror, it was not as sharp as a lemon but twice as sour).

I also discovered I still hate baby carrots, blanching or no blanching.

The pasta was accompanied with some water chestnuts and papaya cubes. I remember reading somewhere that papaya is known as pawpaw in Australia. That is one disturbing name, if you consider the local Singaporean context.
