Roasted pepper & Vegan Sausage Pasta

Ingredients

4 x Vegan sausages

3 peppers (red, orange or yellow)

1 x Onion

4 cloves garlic

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 x 400g Can of tomatoes

1 tsp tomato purée

Salt & pepper to taste

1 tsp Oregano

Fresh Basil & or Parsley

Pasta

Directions

• The peppers and onions (we cooked them on the barbecue the day before – in a foil bag – basically cut them in half & the onion with the garlic cloves whole & the olive oil turning regularly until they were gently charred. Alternatively you can roast in the oven for around 30 mins. (Chop in half or quarters) It gives the sauce a really nice flavour & texture.

• You can fry the sausages in olive oil in the pan – remove & then put in the tinned tomatoes. (Or grill the sausages). (You can use any vegan sausages you like – we used Linda Mcartney they have a good texture & taste great with this sauce.)
