Equipment

Ingredients

  • 2 Tbsp Olive oil
  • 800 g Tinned Tomatoes
  • 2 Tbsp Tomato Paste
  • 500 g Wholewheat Pasta
  • 3 Cloves Garlic
  • 1 Tbsp Smoked Paprika
  • 1 Tbsp Dried Basil
  • 2 Peppers
  • 1 Large Red Onion
  • 4 Tbsp Nutritional Yeast
  • 450 g Vegan Sausages
  • 300 g Vegan Liquid Mozzarella

Instructions

  • Prep: Prepare your cheese topping. Slice the onion into half-moons, the peppers into thin slices, and mince the garlic.
  • Cook Pasta: Cook 500g pasta al dente, reserving at least 500ml (2 cups) of pasta water for later.
  • Fry Veg: Fry the onion and peppers in a casserole dish over a medium heat with a little salt and pepper and 1.5 tablespoons of olive oil.
  • Cook Sausages: While the veg is frying, cook 450g vegan sausages as per instructions and chop into bite-sized pieces.
  • Make Sauce: Add garlic to the pan and cook until fragrant. Add the smoked paprika and basil with a splash of water to help them bloom. Now, add the chopped tomatoes and about a tin's worth of water, stir in the nutritional yeast. Simmer for 10-15 minutes. Preheat the oven to 180˚C (350˚F).
  • Assemble: Combine sauce, sausages, and cooked pasta. Taste for seasoning and adjust with salt and black pepper. If the sauce is too thin, add a tablespoon or two of tomato paste and some of the reserved pasta water until you have the right consistency.
  • Top: Top with vegan liquid mozzarella.
  • Bake: Bake for 15-20 minutes, until golden and melted.
  • Finish: Take it out of the oven and brush the reserved 1/2 tablespoon of olive oil over the top. Then, add a little sprinkle of smoked paprika.

Notes

  • If you don't have a casserole dish, cook the sauce in a large pan and transfer to a baking dish before baking.
  • Use your favorite vegan sausages.
  • Adjust the amount of liquid mozzarella to your liking.
