Ingredients
- 2 cups pasta of choice, gluten-free
- 1 medium onion chopped
- 1 medium green bell pepper chopped
- 2 tbsp tomato paste
- 1 cup chestnut mushrooms chopped
- 1 tsp Turmeric
- 1 tsp cumin
- 1 tsp garlic granules
- 1 tin chickpeas drained and rinsed
- ½ cup tomato chopped
- ½ cup plant-based milk unsweetened
- 2 tbsp nutritional yeast
- ½ cup green peas
- ½ tsp salt or to taste, sea salt
Instructions
- Cook the pasta according to packaging instructions until al dente.
- Meanwhile, add the onion, garlic and tomato paste into a non-stick frying pan together with a splash of water (around 2 tbsp). Sauté for 2-3 minutes, until softened and fragrant.
- Add the mushrooms, turmeric, cumin, and garlic granules. Continue to sauté for a further 3-4 minutes, until the mushrooms start to cook down and soften.
- Add the chickpeas, chopped tomatoes, plant based milk and nutritional yeast. Simmer and stir over a medium heat for around 5 minutes to allow the sauce to thicken slightly.
- Drain and rinse the pasta. Transfer it to the frying pan and stir it through the sauce together with the green peas, seasoning with sea salt.
- Serve immediately, or divide between meal prep containers and store in the fridge for up to 5 days.
