Vegetarian Pasta Bolognese

This was my first attempt to cook Pasta Bolognese and the result was quite descent… except for the colour mine had a reddish colour where as I have seen brown coloured Pasta Bolognese in pics… may be I had added more tomatoes but still it tasted gud to me.. If you want you can reduce the quantity of tomatoes in yours..

Also I substituted minced meat with soya granules to make it vegetarian….

This quantity will serve 1-2 ppl…

INGREDIENTS:-

Penne Pasta: 1 Cup (uncooked) Soya Granules: 3/4 Cup Olive Oil: 1-2 Tbsp Garlic: 2 Cloves Chopped Onion: 1 Small Chopped *Capsicum: 1 Small Chopped

Tomatoes: 2 Small pureed Mixed Herbs: 2 Tbsp Salt: to taste Pepper: 1/4 tsp Red Chilly Powder: to taste Water: 1/4 Cup8

*I was running short of capsicum so didn’t add but one should add it to enhance the taste.

METHOD:-

• Soak soya granules in water till soft.

• Boil pasta in salted water till Al-Dante, apply some oil and keep aside .

• Heat oil in a pan add garlic & onion fry for 2 mins.
• Drain soya granules squeeze out the water nicely add to the onions, add chopped capsicum & fry till they turn brown.

 

• Add mixed herbs, spices, tomato puree & 1/4 cup water.

• Cook on moderate heat till oil separates.

• Transfer this to serving plate, top it with grated cheese & serve hot…
