Veg red sauce pasta is a delicious vegetarian twist on the classic dish. It features a vibrant tomato sauce packed with flavor, minus the meat. Here's what you need to know:
Ingredients:
Base: Tomatoes are the star, and you can use fresh, canned crushed tomatoes, or tomato puree.
Veggies: This is where you can get creative! Popular choices include bell peppers, onions, mushrooms, zucchini, eggplant, and carrots.
Aromatics: Garlic is a must-have for adding depth of flavour. You can also experiment with herbs like oregano, basil, or thyme.
Seasoning: Salt, pepper, and a touch of red pepper flakes for a kick are common additions.
Making the Sauce:
There are two main approaches:
Sautéed Veggies: Sauté onions, garlic, and your chosen vegetables until softened. Then add tomatoes, herbs, and simmer until the sauce thickens.
Roasted Veggies: Roast tomatoes and vegetables in the oven for added sweetness and depth. Then blend them or add them to a pan with other sauce ingredients to simmer.
Complementing the Pasta:
Pasta Type: Any kind of pasta works, from penne and spaghetti to farfalle or fusilli.
Cheese: While traditionally not vegan, you can use a sprinkle of parmesan or a vegan cheese alternative for a cheesy finish.
Protein Boost: If desired, add cooked lentils, chickpeas, or tofu for extra protein.
