Vegan Meatballs and Spaghetti

I love meatballs, and turning them vegan turned out to be easier than I thought.  I know I should have spent hours coming up with my version of vegan mince. And maybe, just maybe, at some point I will experiment with quinoa, lentils, mushrooms, seitan, and seeds. But until that day comes, I just grab a couple of packets of vegan mince from Sainsbury’s or Waitrose.

I like Waitrose as it’s a nice mix of proteins, some of the more soya based vegan minces don’t seem to agree with me. The Waitrose mince does have gluten in it, The Meatless Farm from Sainsbury’s has Soya and Pea protein so if you’ve allergies it’s vital to read all the ingredients. Adding in a few ingredients to the mince to bind, and pack a bit more flavour in produces a really nice dinner of Vegan Meatballs and Spaghetti.

The thing with vegan meatballs is that they aren’t as firm as meat ones, so they are best baked, and handled with care. Once done they taste great, and mixed with Spaghetti and Tomato sauce they are a fab dinner.  Add in a side salad and some vegan garlic bread and it’s as close to perfection as you can get.

I felt that the Vegan Meatballs were best placed on top of the Spaghetti and Tomato sauce, rather than mixed into the sauce as I’d do with a traditional meatball. That’s because they are more likely to fall apart, but it works just as well and you get that nice mix of flavours.  The tomato sauce is our simple, tomato and basil sauce.  It’s a great sauce to make and freeze for quick pasta dinners.

Great, simple mid week dish. Made easier if you keep some of our simple tomato and basil tomato sauce frozen for a fast supper.

Vegan Meatballs and Spaghetti Allergy Mums
Ingredients
  • For the meatballs:
  • 2 packs of Vegan Mince (240g each). I used Waitrose, but there are lots out there
  • 1 small onion, finely diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 3 tablespoons fine oats (to bind)
  • 2 tablespoons Ketchup
  • Salt and Pepper
  • For the Spaghetti Sauce
  • 1 tin chopped plum tomatoes
  • 6 fresh tomatoes
  • 1 finely chopped onion
  • 4 large cloves minced garlic
  • 4 tablespoon chopped fresh basil
  • 4 tablespoons chopped sun dried tomatoes
Directions
Step 1
Measure out your pasta and get a large pot ready to boil it in – about 125g per person
Step 2
Make the spaghetti sauce and have it ready. Boil a kettle full of water, put the fresh tomatoes in a bowl and cover them with the boiling water. Wait 3 minutes and poke with a sharp knife. The skin should ripple away. Drain and peel the tomatoes. Roughly chop them up. Put to one side
Step 3
Heat a couple of tablespoons of olive oil in a fry pan and add the onions. Fry until just translucent
Step 4
Add the garlic to the onions for a minute or two. It’s important not to burn the garlic as it goes very bitter
Step 5
Add the tinned, fresh tomatoes and sun dried tomatoes
Step 6
Heat until simmering. Now add in the fresh basil, salt and pepper
Step 7
Leave to simmer gently for 30-40 minutes
Step 8
While the sauce is simmering make the meatballs (BTW – you can add in some black olives, capers, or sliced mushrooms to the tomato sauce if you want to jazz it up)
Step 9
Preheat your oven to 350°F, 180°F. Empty the mince into a large bowl
Step 10
Add in the chopped onion, garlic, oats and ketchup. Mix with your hands to combine all the ingredients and shape into large meatballs.
Step 11
Heat a tray in the oven, with a bit of vegetable oil on it and then add the meatballs. Bake for 25 minutes, turning twice carefully so they don’t break up
Step 12
After 15 minutes, get the pasta water boiling and cook your spaghetti for 9-10 minutes until it still has a bit of a bite. Drain and mix with the sauce
Step 13
Serve the spaghetti in bowls, and top with meatballs.

Easy Bean Salad

Easy Bean Salad

We love Bean Salad, its just a nice change from a green salad. Packed with protein and simple to do – a lot of opening of tins involved! A simple salad that’s great with a BBQ   If you’ve got a BBQ going and want something nice on it – do try these Duck Skewers.

Duck Skewers

BBQ Duck Skewers

The weather is fine, the BBQ is out and it’s time to pop something other than a sausage on the BBQ.  Skewers are always popular – I like to cut the meat into strips rather than chunks as it cooks more evenly. Duck is amazing on a BBQ – full of flavour and quick to […]

Coconut Chicken

Coconut Chicken and Pineapple

This is a lovely meal on the BBQ or under the grill. Cooking time is pretty short, about 15 minutes but you do need to marinate them for at least 3 hours, or even prepare them the night before.  Pineapple is a good fruit for these, as it’s solid enough to take the heat from […]
