The title asks all please ladies, my 14 month old loves pasta but he gets reaction from tomatoes so hav to avoid them so need other ideas
 
Nigella has a couple of nice easy recipes. There's one that is just a little butter, garlic and frozen peas tossed through the pasta.

And this one https://www.nigella.com/recipes/view/linguine-with-lemon-garlic-and-thyme-mushrooms-24

Or you could make/buy done pesto and mix that through.
 
I made a recipe once for a pumpkin sauce (using canned pumpkin purée) and it was delicious! I bet it would work well with roasted, puréed butternut squash too.

I think this is the recipe I used:

Also... Pesto! Can substitute different nuts and greens based on what you have on hand instead.

Blend roasted veggies with a little broth and seasonings for a sauce.

Oh man, now I want pasta!!
 
Our favourite pasta sauce is from the River Cottage Baby and Toddler Cookbook (which is great, btw).

Basically, it's butternut squash, a fennel bulb, a couple small onions, a carrot, and several cloves of garlic (wrap these in foil to roast), then roasted in the oven with olive oil until they all start to caramelise, then blend with a hand mixer or food processor with about 200ml of vegetable or chicken stock (more or less depending on the consistency). Serve over pasta with grated cheese on top.

It's delicious!
 
We do peppers, onions, courgette and mushrooms chopped into big chunks and all roasted for around 30-40 min in olive oil. When they're all soft, pop in a big dollop of either either cream cheese or creme fraiche and mix really well before stirring in the cooked pasta. Yummy!

I've just made myself hungry!
