In response to my recent expedition in vegan black-hole diving, I’ve been trying to mix things up in small ways. One of those ways was to make some vegan beef macaroni last night.
When I thought about what I was making, I had just figured I’d just make some pasta, but for whatever reason my mom decided to remind me that I had bought some Boca burgers and had them downstairs in the deep freeze.
Well, why not make beef macaroni? When I became a vegetarian all those years ago that was one of the few things that I really missed, and I could imagine it being very difficult. So anyway, I don’t know that a recipe is necessary for this, but I don’t know how to explain it otherwise.
Really Simple Vegan Beef Macaroni
2 cups pasta
1/2 jar of pasta sauce (or some other amount to your liking)
1 boca original, vegan patty
Bring a pot of water to boil, and add macaroni. Cook for 8 minutes, or to desired tenderness. While the pasta cooks, thaw one vegan Boca patty and grind it up with a fork. Mix the ground patty with pasta sauce in a pan and bring to heat. Serve with “meat” sauce over pasta.
This recipe could of course be dressed up more, but as you know, my thing is keeping stuff simple most of the time and expanding on it those few times I really think it’s necessary.
Next step: learning to make a good vegan alfredo sauce.
