Spiral Pasta with Tomato and Potato Sauce.

This pasta with sauce and potatoes recipe is seriously delicious. I remember when I was a kid, I’d always ask for it on my birthday as a super special lunch. We used to call it “Stewed Noodles” at home, and my mom made it with lots of love.

It’s a recipe that’s super easy and quick to make, and I’m pretty sure kids will totally dig it. If you’re more into the veggie vibe, you can swap out the beef for some plant-based meat, and it’ll still be just as tasty. I dare you to give it a shot; you won’t regret it! Even though it might sound like an odd combo, I promise you that the mix of pasta and potatoes is a total winner.

Notes

You can make a vegetarian version by using plant-based meat and following the same instructions.

For the plant-based meat sauce:

• Soak ½ cup of plant-based meat in hot water for 10 minutes.
• Sauté 2 cloves of minced garlic in olive oil, then add the blended tomato-carrot mixture and seasonings. Cook for 20 minutes over low heat.
• Drain the water from the plant-based meat and add it to the tomato sauce.
