I dunno if this is what you have in mind, but I make a huge batch of vegetable sauce and freeze it, and then I pour it over pasta or use it as a base and add spices and meat to make it into chili or curry or stew. We are a family of fussy eaters so this is my sneaky way of getting veggies into us all.
I pretty much just throw in whatever veg I fancy - usually carrots, squash, leeks, mushrooms, spinach, red peppers and tomato passata with a bit of low-sodium stock, boil it up and blend it smooth. Then when I serve it I can just add a bit of basil and garlic for a pasta sauce, or curry paste and chicken, or ground beef and a packet of chili seasoning. Yummy.
