Frozen meatless crumbles are convenient and quick-cooking, helping this pasta dinner come together with ease. The sauce’s flavour foundation comes from a trio of aromatics—onion, carrot, and celery—that sauté until they start to brown, which develops rich savory notes. We call for traditional spaghetti, but you can use any pasta shape or type you love (such as whole-wheat, chickpea-based, or gluten-free).

Olive oil

1½ tsp(s)

Onion

1 cup(s), finely chopped

Carrots

Instructions

  1. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add oil to pan and swirl to coat. Add onion, carrot, and celery; sauté until vegetables soften and begin to brown, 6 to 7 minutes. Add garlic; sauté 1 minute. Add meatless crumbles; sauté 3 minutes. Add tomato paste; cook 1 minute, stirring constantly. Stir in diced tomatoes, salt, oregano, and red pepper flakes. Bring to a boil; reduce heat, and simmer until thickened, 15 minutes.

  3. Serving size: about 1½ cups
