Get started

  1. Start by heating 1 tbsp of oil in a large, non-stick pan over a medium-high heat. Add your Tofoo veggie balls and fry for 5-10 mins, moving about as you go until browned. Remove from the pan and set aside for later. Boil your water to cook your pasta later.
  2. Onto the sauce! Add another tbsp of oil to you pan over a medium heat, add your onions and fry for 5 mins until translucent. Add your garlic and fry for another min until fragrant.
  3. Add your chopped tomatoes, bay leaf, caster sugar, balsamic vinegar and veggie stock cube, stir and simmer for 5 mins. Add your veggie balls back to the pan, season and cover and simmer for 10 mins until the sauce has thickened. Whilst simmering away add your spaghetti to your boiling water and cook for 10 mins until al dente.
  4. To serve, split your spaghetti across bowls, top with your veggie balls and sauce plus a scattering of basil leaves and Parmesan.
