    Hearty Pasta Jambalaya with Vegan Sausage

    Published: Jan 21, 2019 · Updated: Aug 18, 2021 · This post may contain affiliate links.

    Here's one of my favorite uses for vegan sausage. This hearty Creole-flavored Pasta Jambalaya recipe makes a dish full of bold flavor. If you have more time, make a pan of vegan corn bread—a wonderful addition to this meal, as is Creole Coleslaw. 

    Hearty Pasta Jambalaya with Vegan Sausage

    Serves: 4 to 6

    Ingredients

    • 8 oz pasta (such as penne, cavatappi, or gemelli, preferably whole grain)
    • 2 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
    • 1 medium onion, chopped
    • 2–3 garlic cloves, minced
    • 2 medium celery stalks, diced
    • ½ medium bell pepper, any color
    • 2 links vegan sausage, sliced no thicker than ½ inch (Tofurky and Field Roast are both good brands)
    • 1 (15–16 oz) can diced tomatoes (try fire-roasted)
    • 1 tsp paprika
    • ½ tsp dried thyme
    • cayenne pepper or dried hot red pepper flakes, to taste
    • salt and freshly ground pepper, to taste
    • ¼ cup fresh parsley, minced, or more to taste
    • fresh basil leaves, thinly sliced, as desired

    Instructions

    1. Cook the pasta in plenty of rapidly simmering water until al dente, then drain.
    2. Meanwhile, heat the oil in a large skillet or stir-fry pan. Add the onion and sauté over medium heat until translucent.
    3. Add the garlic, celery, bell pepper, and sausage; continue to sauté until all the vegetables are lightly browned.
    4. Add the tomatoes, paprika, and thyme. Continue to cook for 6 to 8 minutes.
    5. Stir in the cooked pasta. Season with cayenne or red pepper fakes, salt, and pepper.
    6. Stir in the fresh herbs, reserving some for garnish if you'd like; then serve.

      Where does one get these ingredients in the UK?
      I Do not eat soya products, which I admit makes it a little more difficult ..
