Ingredients

Main Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil or 1/4 cup water for oil-free cooking
  • 1 onion, sliced
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 3–4 vegan sausages, sliced (e.g., Tofurky or Field Roast)
  • 16 oz mushrooms, sliced
  • 1 can (28 oz) crushed tomatoes
  • 4 cups low-sodium vegetable broth or water (or combination)
  • 16 oz penne pasta (whole grain recommended)
  • 1/4 – 1/3 cup chopped parsley
  • Mineral salt & fresh cracked pepper, to taste

Herbs & Spices

  • 1 teaspoon dried basil
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon dried marjoram
  • 1/2 teaspoon fennel seeds (optional)
  • 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)

Instructions

  1. Sauté the aromatics and sausage: Heat olive oil or water in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add the sliced onion and sauté for 4–5 minutes until softened. Add minced garlic, sliced vegan sausage, dried basil, oregano, marjoram, and optional fennel seeds and red pepper flakes. Cook for another 1–2 minutes, stirring occasionally to combine flavors.
  2. Add mushrooms, tomatoes, broth, and pasta to simmer: Stir in sliced mushrooms, crushed tomatoes, vegetable broth or water, penne pasta, and season with mineral salt and fresh cracked pepper. Bring the mixture to a boil, then cover, reduce heat to low, and let simmer gently for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking and ensure even cooking.
  3. Finish and garnish: Remove the pot from heat, stir in chopped parsley thoroughly, and adjust seasoning if needed. Serve immediately with extra parsley sprinkled on top and a light dusting of Almond Parmesan if desired.
  4. Serving suggestion: Pair this dish with a slice of crusty artisan bread for a wholesome, satisfying meal.
  5. Storage: Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 5–6 days.

Notes

  • For oil-free option, use 1/4 cup water instead of olive oil for sautéing.
  • Feel free to customize with your favorite brand of vegan sausage or omit for a fully plant-based mushroom pasta.
  • Whole grain pasta increases fiber content and nutritional value.
  • Almond Parmesan adds a cheesy flavor without dairy, perfect for vegan diets.
  • Ensure to stir occasionally during simmering to avoid pasta sticking to the bottom.
  • Adjust spices according to your heat preference, especially the red pepper flakes.
