If you can get veggie sausages, here is a recipe I like. Please excuse any vagueness, I make my recipes up so don't always measure. I you have/like different veggies, use them. I have put swede, cabbage, in before.
Ingredients
1 onion
couple of carrots
1 courgette
some sweet potato or butternut squash
1 green pepper
2-4oz of penne pasta, wholemeal might be best (depends how hungry you are)
1 tin of aduki beans
1 tin tomatoes
splash of tabasco
splash of soy sauce
2 tsp of veg boullion (or stock cube if you can't get that)
1 pack veggie sausages (need to be solid quorn or tofu styles onces. ones that keep their shape)
splash of sunflower oil
Chop all the veg. I tend to leave mine pretty chunky as otherwise they will disintergrate.
Heat the oil in a big pan. Fry the onion a bit, then add carrots and fry for a bit, then pepper and courgette and fry for a bit. They don't need to be fully cooked, just enough for them to have some nice flavour. All above veg frying prob takes 5-7 mins.
Meanwhile cook the sausages according to their instructions.
Add to the fried veg the tomatoes, sweet pot/squash, aduki beans, about 200 ml water, tabasco, soy and boullion, and bring to the boil.
Chop the sausages into slices, fairly chunky ones. Add to the tomato mix.
Get a big casserole dish with a lid. Put the dry pasta into the bottom of the dish. The pour over all the tomato and sausage mix. Prod is about a bit to make sure some of the liquid has made its way down, but without stirring the pasta in.
Put lid on and cook in the oven for about 30-40 mins (until the veg are done), gas mark 4.
Enjoy!
