Ingredients:

​

400g rotini pasta, cooked

1 TBSP olive oil

3 vegan chorizo sausages (I make Buzzfeed Tasty's vegan chorizo)

1 cup diced red onion

3 cloves garlic, minced

1 TBSP tomato paste or garlic-tomato paste (even better!)

2 X 400ml can fire-roasted tomatoes

1/4 tsp salt

1/2 tsp ground black pepper

1/2 TBSP granulated sugar

1/4 tsp red chili flakes

3 cups vegan mozzarella shreds (Violife is the meltiest and tastiest I've tried)

1/2 cup vegan parmesan

Generous handful fresh basil

​

​

Prepare the sauce:

​

1) Preheat oven to 400°F/200°C and cook pasta according to package
instructions.

​

2) Add oil and heat pan over medium heat. Sauté onion and garlic for a few minutes until the onion is transparent, then add sausage. Stir until crumbled and lightly browned.

​

3) Next, add garlic-tomato paste, fire-roasted tomatoes, sugar, salt, and pepper. Simmer and stir frequently; about 10 minutes.

 

Assemble and bake: 

​

4) Mix sauce together with the cooked rotini. Place half of the pasta in an oiled, oven-safe dish. Evenly spread half of the vegan mozzarella over the pasta and sprinkle some fresh basil. Add the next layer of pasta, vegan mozzarella, vegan parmesan, and red chili flakes.

​

5) Bake for 10 minutes, then broil for an additional 3-5 minutes to lightly brown the top.

​

6) Top with more fresh basil and serve!

​

Makes 6-8 generous servings.
