Spaghetti Veganaise
This is a simple vegan recipe, loosely based on the famous, traditional and ever-popular Spaghetti Bolognaise, but with addition of mock-chicken.
None of the ingredients require hours of cooking so this meal can literally be prepared within 30 minutes.
Ingredients
300g spaghetti 1 finely chopped onion 250g fresh or frozen mixed vegetbles (Country Mix is the chef's favourite 1 packet Bolognaise sauce mix 250g (Fry's) chicken stir fry strips (or try the new favourite Chicken Julienne strips) made with gluten or cashew nuts
Cooking Instructions
- Boil the spaghetti as per the packet instructions for preferred texture and the desired number of people. Set aside and allow to drain.
- Braise the onion until glassy.
- Mince the veggies in a blender or food processor until chunky, not fine. The minced veggies make the sauce more substantial and add to the nutritional value of the meal.
- Add the minced vegetables to the glassy onions and fry until tender.
- Add the mock-chicken strips and stir fry for 5 minutes.
- Prepare the Bolognaise sauce mix according to the packet instructions. If you reduce the amount of water required by at least 100 ml you can control the taste and thickness by adding more water as you see fit later.
- Add the mixture to the stir fried ingredients and lower the heat as it will usually thicken quickly.
- Let it simmer for a few minutes and until you’re happy with the taste and texture.
