Makes 4 servings
Prep time: 30 mins | Cook time: 60 mins
INGREDIENTS
Ragu sauce:
1 white onion, diced
1 tsp garlic, crushed
250g Fable
2 tsp olive oil
1½ cups water
2 tbsp vegetable stock
1 can diced tomatoes
1½ cups pasta sauce
¼ cup tamari
¼ cup nutritional yeast
2 tbsp maple syrup
2 bay leaves
½ cup red wine
Additional ingredients:
500g pasta noodles
Fresh basil
Parmesan (sub nutritional yeast for vegan)
METHOD
In a medium pot, boil 1 ½ cups of water with the vegetable stock. Add in Fable meat to help soften and break it down for the ragu sauce. Heat up a larger pot with olive oil and add chopped onion and crushed garlic. Fry until the onion is just translucent, not brown.
With a fork, shred apart the Fable meat in the stock and add the remaining sauce ingredients including the stock into the pot with onion and garlic. Simmer this on a low heat for 30 minutes.
The sauce will reduce and begin thickening, if too thin, simmer for another 15 minutes.
Boil pasta noodles and add 1 tsp of salt into the water. Cook until al dente. Put aside ½ cup of the pasta water and add it into the meaty sauce once it has reached a good thickness. Add in the herbs, pepper and vegan parmesan or nutritional yeast.
Mix in cooked pasta with ragu sauce. To complete the dish, serve with a crusty bread and sprinkle more parmesan to finish.
