Hungry monster pasta

Baking: 10 min | cooking: 30 min (ps, includes 8 mins for pasta)

Ingredients

1 box of Fry’s No-Meat Balls 

250g wholewheat spaghetti pasta

Tomato sauce

15ml (1T) olive oil

60ml (¼c) onion, sliced

salt to taste

1 garlic clove, chopped

1 can (410g) tomatoes

Monster eyes

vegan mayonnaise

black olives, pitted (or use little peppercorns or black sesame seeds)

Method

  • Preheat the oven to 180°C.
  • Put a tray in the oven and cook the No-Meatballs for about 10 minutes. Rotate the pan so all the No-Meatballs cook evenly. Let them cook for another 5 minutes.
  • When cooked, take them out of the oven and allow them to cool.
  • Tomato sauce Turn on the stove and add the olive oil in a pot.
  • Add the onion with a pinch of salt and cook until it becomes soft, about 3 minutes. Then add the garlic and cook for another 1-2 minutes.
  • Add the can of tomatoes to the pot, and stir everything together. When the sauce starts to bubble, lower the heat and cover the pot. Continue cooking for about 15 minutes.
  • Gently add the No-Meatballs to the simmering pasta sauce. Let everything cook for about 7 minutes until heated through.
  • Cook the pasta according to packaging instructions.
  • Decorate pasta into the shape of the monster’s body! Add two No-Meatballs to form the monster’s body.
  • Monster eyes Add a dollop of mayonnaise topped with a sliced olive, peppercorn or sesame seed. Save any leftovers for lunch or freeze them!
