The Greatest Most Flavoursome Vegetarian Spaghetti Recipes

Steps:

• Pour about 2T of olive oil in a deep frypan or wok, and on a very low heat, fry the first 5 ingredients (up to basil) for about 30 seconds until it becomes fragrant. Garlic burns very easily so the next step has to be ready to go.
• Before garlic burns, pour in tomatoes and stir in, turning up the heat to medium.
• Add next 5 ingredients (up to red wine), stir thoroughly, then bring to the boil. Check to see that the flavour is balanced between the salt, sugar and vinegar. it should have a bit of a kick - but if you can taste the sugar or vinegar quite strongly, adjust taste, very carefully. eg. if it tastes like vinegar, add another 1/4 t sugar.
• Reduce to medium heat, cover and simmer for 15 minutes until reduced.
• In the meantime, grate parmesan cheese, boil large saucepan of generously salted water (you don't need oil).
• Boil pasta according to instructions - try not to touch it too much, and not to overcook it - bite-test it every 30 seconds when it gets close to the finish time. Pasta should be juicy and springy, not sticky and limp.
• Drain pasta, toss with olive oil, then serve onto plates. Top with sauce, parmesan, and cracked pepper. Bon apetit!

Steps:

• Prepare pasta according to package directions while preparing sauce.
• In a large microwave-safe bowl combine first 12 ingredients (veggi crumbles - cayenne). Microwave on medium high for 5-10 minutes (I think I microed it for 8 minutes).
• Stir in pasta sauce, salsa and Splenda into mixture. Microwave covered for 10 minutes, stirring once.
• Spoon sauce over pasta and toss. Sprinkle with Parmesan if desired.
