Cooking instructions
Instructions for 2 [for 3] [for 4] portion recipe.
Add your meat free mince (remove the paper if required!) and dried basil to a bowl with a generous grind of pepper
Using clean hands, give everything a good mix up until fully combined (clean hands are the best way!)
Divide the mince mixture and shape into 5 meatballs per person – these are your meat free mince meatballs
Peel and finely chop your brown onion[s]
Top, tail, peel and grate your carrot[s]
Heat a large, wide-based pan (preferably non-stick with a matching lid) with 1 tbsp [1 1/2 tbsp] [2 tbsp] olive oil over a medium-high heat
Once hot, add the meat free mince meatballs and cook for 3 min, turning occasionally, until browned all over
Once browned, transfer the browned meat free mince meatballs to a plate and set aside
Return the pan to a medium heat
Tip: Add a drizzle of olive oil if your pan is looking a little dry!
Once hot, add the chopped onion and grated carrot with a pinch of salt and cook for 5 min or until beginning to soften
Boil a kettle
Peel and finely chop (or grate) your garlic
Add your wholewheat spaghetti to a pot of boiled water with a large pinch of salt and bring to the boil over a high heat
Cook the wholewheat spaghetti for 7-9 min or until cooked with a slight bite
Once done, drain the cooked wholewheat spaghetti and return it to the pot
Dissolve your vegetable stock mix in 200ml [250ml] [300ml] boiled water
Once the carrot and onion have softened, add the chopped garlic and cook for 30 secs
Add your chopped tomatoes, tomato paste, vegetable stock, balsamic vinegar and 1 tsp [1 1/2 tsp] [2 tsp] sugar and stir it all together
Add the browned meat free mince meatballs and cook, covered, for 7-8 min or until cooked through
Whilst everything is cooking, chop your basil roughly, including the stalks
Once the meat free mince meatballs are cooked through, add the drained wholewheat spaghetti to the pan and give everything a good mix up until the sauce begins to stick to the pasta – this is your wholewheat spaghetti & meat free mince meatballs
Grate your cheddar cheese
Serve the wholewheat spaghetti & meat free mince meatballs
