Ingredients
Instructions
-
Prepare noodles as directed in package
In a pot of salted boiling water, cook pasta noodles for 10 minutes or until al dente. Drain and run through cold water, loosen with olive oil.
-
Make the sauce
Saute thinly sliced onion and garlic until fragrant and translucent. pour in Rao’s Marinara, season as you go.
Mount some vegan butter for extra creaminess. Drizzle some maple for sweetness, it really rounds the flavor of the whole dish, plus I grew up with sweet spaghetti back in the Philippines.
-
Sear Ikea Plant balls
In a separate pan, brown Ikea meatless meatballs with olive oil and vegan butter. Stirring once in a while for even browning. Feel free to deglaze it with wine or any acidic ingredient in your pantry as for me my Mirin did the trick.
-
Assemble, Present and Garnish with Herbs
Toss in noodles in red sauce and let the balls roll on top. Garnish with what ever herb you got on hand and voila.
