About The Recipe
Today, we're keeping things simple, easy, and super cozy because nothing screams comfort like a big plate of pasta! This recipe was actually developed because I hadn't been feeling too good and my mom wanted to get some vegetables/food down me. This is what she came up with.
After one bite, I immediately started feeling better! I think soon after I made her write down everything she put in this... oops!
But it's that good!
To be totally honest with you guys, I have been holding out on you with this. We've made it probably three or four times since and every bite had been just as good as the last.
Ingredients
- Vegan Italian Sausage
- Olive Oil
- Onion
- Celery
- Green Bell Pepper
- Mushrooms
- Garlic
- Petite Diced Tomatoes
- Tomato Sauce
Instructions
Using a knife, gently cut the casing on the sausage and peel it off.
Now, in a medium sized pot, add olive oil and let get warm. Add the sausage and sauté for about 3 minutes.
Add in the mushrooms, celery, onion, bell pepper and cook for about 4 minutes.
Now, add the tomatoes and tomato sauce and let cook down for 30-40 minutes.
Serve over pasta, top with cheese and basil, and serve!
How To Store
You can store the sauce in single size servings or in a large freezer safe bag! Reheating is also super easy. Place the frozen sauce into a pot, add a little bit of water, and let thaw over medium-low heat.
However, if you have leftovers mixed with pasta, just keep it in an airtight container and store in the fridge. It makes for a great lunch!
