30 Minute Pasta with Homemade Sauce | Artistic Vegan Show 4

9/10/2016

Simple Homemade Spaghetti Sauce made easily in your blender! This meal is absolutely delicious! The first time I made it we both rushed back for seconds.

Make a homemade meal for those you love in about 30 minutes. Homemade sauce with an added surprise to "beef" it up over a bed of noodles. With the back to school dash a simple meal is warmly welcomed in this busy season. Sometimes I want something simple yet husband-worthy, this is it! I loved this meal so well I even made a video creating it, join me in my kitchen for the Artistic Vegan Show 4! With love & Light ~ Christa

Homemade Spaghetti Sauce:
4 Cups Tomatoes
1 Sm Can Organic Tomato Paste (About a heaping 1/2 Cup)
1 Cup Chopped Onions
2 Large Cloves Garlic
1/2 tsp Salt, Dried Thyme
1/4 tsp Black Pepper
2 Tbsp Dried Oregano
1 tsp Red Chili Flakes
2 Small Handfuls Herbs (I used Parsley and Basil; 1 small handful each)

TVP Mixture
1 Cup TVP
1 Cup Cold Water
To taste: Salt, Pepper, Paprika, Oregano and Garlic Powder

Noodles
1 Package Spaghetti Noodles (I used Gluten-Free; 200 grams)

Peaceful Preparation:

Mix the TVP ingredients together and set aside to allow the water to absorb.
Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add 1 tbsp of salt to the water, cook the noodles as per the package.
While the water is heating, combine the Spaghetti Sauce ingredients in a blender. Blend until smooth, scraping down the sides and repeating if needed.
Transfer the sauce ingredients to a small-medium pot, place on medium-low heat. Cover and simmer for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally. Once the sauce is flavorful, add the TVP mixture, mix together, turn off the heat, cover and let it marinade for a few minutes.
You can either mix the drained noodles into the sauce, and heat over low for a few minutes or you can take the drained noodles and place a strip of noodles down the center. I did this by twirling the noodles around the fork, and transferring to the bowl, repeating until desired amount is reached. Add the sauce down the center for a beautiful meal. Makes 4-6 servings.
