Tested by Simple Supper

Notes

Nutritional yeast can be substituted with Parmesan.

Ingredients

  • 2 clove of garlic
  • 1 onion
  • 2 sprigs of fresh rosemary
  • olive oil
  • 500 g veggie mince
  • 200 ml red wine
  • 280 g sun-dried tomatoes
  • 2 can of plum tomatoes
  • 500 g dried spaghetti
  • Parmesan or nutritional yeast

Instructions

  1. Peel and finely chop the garlic and onions, pick and finely chop the rosemary.
  2. Heat a splash of oil in a pan on a medium heat, add the rosemary, garlic and onion and cook for 5 minutes, or until softened, stirring occasionally.
  3. Add the veggie mince, breaking it apart with the back of a spoon, then cook for 2 to 3 minutes, or until starting to brown, then pour in the wine. Leave to bubble and cook away.
  4. Meanwhile, drain the sun-dried tomatoes and add into a food processor, process to a paste, then add to the pan together with the canned tomatoes. Stir well.
  5. Cover with a lid then place in the oven for 1 hour, removing the lid and giving it a stir after 30 minutes – if it looks a little dry at this stage, add a splash of water.
  6. About 10 minutes before the time is up, cook the spaghetti in salted water according to the packet instructions.
  7. Once the spaghetti is cooked, drain, reserving a cup of cooking water, then return to the pot with a few spoons of Bolognese, grated Parmesan and a drizzle of olive oil.
  8. Toss to coat the spaghetti, loosening with a splash of cooking water, if needed.
  9. Divide the spaghetti between plates or bowls, add a good spoonful of Bolognese to each, then serve with more grated Parmesan.
