15 minute Plant-based Pasta Bolognese

in #actifit5 years ago (edited)

Here's another weekly favourite for you. It's really quick to make and tastes great! Uses vegetarian sausages instead of quorn mince or similar. Puy lentils add a great flavour along side the rich tomato sauce. Not much else to say except give it a try as part of #fruitandveggiesmonday

Serves 2-3

Ingredients

4 x vegan sausages
1 x red onion
4 x garlic / 2 tsp garlic powder
3 tbsp tomato puree
1 tsp dried basil
1 tsp dried oregano
400g tomatoes / 1 x 14oz can tomatoes
200g mushrooms
200g puy lentils
250g pasta

  2. Get pasta cooking in a saucepan with boiling water & cover

  6. Mix in tomatoes and mushrooms and cook until mushrooms are soft and tomatoes have collapsed
  7. Mix in the puy lentils and cook for 2 mins until hot

ooh thanks!

Looks delicious, great pictures too. We make something similar but with garbanzo beans (roasted) instead of vegetarian sausage. I used to buy vegetarian sausage, but I have never seen it here in Mexico.

And, 6km to walk and get these ingredients, that's awesome! Free exercise!

:) We call garbanzo beans chickpeas here in England. It's probably good that you use them instead of veg sausages anyway as they're definitely healthier (not processed)! I put them in quite a lot of stuff but have never roasted them myself. Might give that a go :D

Not 6km, 6k steps hehe, so more like 3k, but yeah still good exercise :)

Cant beat a a good veggie pasta!!!! I have an easy recipe where i fry red peppers and blend with some olives which makes a good alternative to tomato sauce ... it wpuld ne great with vegan sausafe too!s

Oo that sounds interesting I'll have to remember that! Thanks for sharing .. maybe I'll do a fruitsandveggiesmonday using your food tactics xD

Great pasta treat for real food lovers - yumyumyum

And here is the pasta king @nutman again with anther mouthwatering recipe! I will be making this one for sure. You know, I never thought about mashing up veggie sausage, lol. What a great idea! 🍅🌿🍅

haha pasta king you're too kind! I came across mashing up sausages in another recipe before and applied to this! Works better with some sausages than others. The ones I used here don't have a "skin" so they just mash straight up. If they have a skin you have to remove it first and it gets a bit messy hehe.

My pleasure, lol. And yes I realized that the sausages have to be skinless, but most vegan ones are anyway. At least the ones I tried 😊

That was an actfit I enjoyed reading! Looks really good.

Thanks you!

I love lentils in a pasta sauce. Adds such a nice texture and fills you up in the best way possible! I'm sure the veggie sausage adds some nice flavor, as well. As always, I would be happy for a bowl of this!

:D Yes indeed! Beans/pulses, greens and carbs in every meal required! Kinda skimped on the greens in this one though.. just a small dose of parsley. I add spinach to the mix when I have some in the fridge though. Thanks I would be happy to dish you some up :)

For sure! That's a great template to meal plan by, and one I generally stick to, as well! :)
