Very Veggie-ghetti Spaghetti!

There are many ways to prepare a thick ragu style vegan pasta sauce.

It is oil-free because I sautée the veggies in balsamic vinegar, or red wine, or just water.

The thickness comes from adding a grain or two (like quinoa, amaranth, barley, etc).

Sometimes I might also add a little small pea or beans for extra protein (split peas, lentils, etc) or  edamame (soybeans) or rice.

Here is one quick & easy preparation. Use your imagination to come up with your own variations.

Water sautée the following

  • 99 Cent Store frozen Pepper/Onion Stirfry

  • Whole Foods Engine 2 Fiesta Blend (frozen brown rice, black beans, peppers, onions, corn)

  • Trader Joe’s Chopped Veggie Mix

  • Sweet Kale  Vegetable Salad 

  • Costco frozen Organic Quinoa & Kale

  • and/or a few handfuls of Costco dry goods Ancient Grains (quinoa, amaranth, millet)

  • add jar of oil-free sauce (Prego LightSmart)

Simmer until grains are soft & serve over high fiber pasta

& sprinkle top w/ nutritional yeast (as parmesan)

And plate it up!
