Vegetarian Bolognese with Soy Chorizo

Directions

Ingredients :

3 cups water

1 (16 ounce) package thin spaghetti

1 tablespoon olive oil

18 ounces marinara sauce

1 (14.5 ounce) can diced tomatoes

12 ounces soy chorizo

1 teaspoon dried oregano

½ teaspoon cayenne pepper

½ teaspoon paprika

2 teaspoons chopped fresh basil

½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

fine sea salt to taste

Methods :

Bring about 3 cups lightly salted water to a boil in a medium-sized pot. Add pasta and cook, stirring occasionally, until tender yet firm to the bite, about 11 minutes.

Meanwhile, heat olive oil over medium heat in a large skillet. Add marinara sauce and diced tomatoes and stir. Add soy chorizo and mix until texture is even, 3 to 5 minutes. Add oregano, cayenne pepper, and paprika; reduce heat and simmer until pasta has finished cooking, about 8 minutes more. Add basil.

Drain cooked pasta; top with sauce. Season with black pepper and salt.
