1 | bunch | Soup vegetables (optional) |
3 | tbs | tomato paste |
1 | can | chunky tomatoes |
100 | ml | dry red wine (optional) |

6 | l | Water (to cook pasta) |

Instruction
Prepare the ingredients in the kitchen.
Peel the garlic and onions.
Finely dice the garlic and onions.
Prepare the diced garlic and onion in a bowl.
Sauté the vegan mince in a pan with olive oil and butter.
Optionally, brown the minced meat in the pan.
Add the garlic and diced onion to the minced meat and sweat.
Red wine, tamari, tomatoes, tomato paste and marjoram for the sauce.
Season the sauce with salt, pepper, sugar and cayenne pepper. Allow the vegan sauce to simmer gently for 5 minutes, and the sauce with minced meat to simmer gently for at least 15 minutes. Continue to use as desired.
Cook pasta
Prepare the pasta for cooking in salted water. Bring pot of water to boil, season water with salt like sea water.
Cook the pasta al dente according to the instructions on the packet and drain.
Arrange the pasta with sauce on hot plates and serve sprinkled with herbs. I like to add a few drops of olive oil to the dish.
Optionally store sauce or more ideas
Optionally, you can freeze the sauce in bags: Allow the sauce to cool and fill into bags. Freeze the bags pressed flat. This makes it easier to defrost. I like to fill the sauce hot into cleaned jars. To do this, clean the jars and lids with vinegar essence, then pour in the hot sauce, seal and refrigerate. It can be kept refrigerated for about 2 weeks.
Another idea for using the sauce is a classic Lasagne Bolognese.
