Ingredients

  • mushrooms 200 g (quartered)
  • walnut halves 100 g
  • red onion 1 (quartered)
  • carrot 1 (chopped)
  • garlic cloves 2 (peeled)
  • Italian seasoning 1 tsp
  • dried basil 1 tsp
  • dried oregano 1 tsp
  • chopped tomatoes 1
  • tamari 1 tbsp
  • vegetable stock cube 1
  • fresh basil 1 handful (leaves picked)
  • gluten free spaghetti 400 g

Method

  • Roughly chop the carrots. Quarter the red onion and mushrooms. Peel the garlic cloves.
  • To make the mince add the mushrooms, red onion, carrot, garlic and walnuts to a food processor and pulse (don’t overblend until mushy, as you want to maintain some texture). Alternatively, if you don't have a food processor, you can chop everything up super finely.
  • Heat a dash of oil in a pan on a medium-high heat and add in the mince along with the dried herbs and fry for a few minutes.
  • Stir in the chopped tomatoes, 30ml water per serving, tamari, vegetable stock cube and a pinch of salt and pepper. Pop the lid on and simmer for 10 minutes.
  • Meanwhile cook the spaghetti according to the packet instructions.
  • Drain the cooked spaghetti then stir through the mince sauce along with the fresh basil leaves. Plate up and enjoy!
