Recipe: Vegetarian Pasta Sauce a la Pixie

Vegetarian Pasta Sauce a la Pixie

No, this recipe doesn't contain pixie's! But it is one I made up, therefore it has the pixie name on it :) This isn't different really from other pasta sauces, but it does contain whole kalamata pitted olives, which isn't that common.  So, without further ado, here's what you're going to need.

INGREDIENTS
1 x Tin cherry tomatoes
1/2 jar pitted kalamata olives
Handful chopped basil*
3 x finely chopped garlic cloves*
1 x pack quorn chicken chunks
1 x tbsp tomato puree
Salt and black pepper
A splash of olive oil

*These products I use pre-prepared and frozen from the supermarket

METHOD - The Sauce
(Cook up your pasta as usual)
1.  Heat up the oil in the pan, then add the pack of quorn chunks, add a couple pinches of salt, and some twists of black pepper
2.  When they're on their way to being cooked, drain the olives and add them
3.  Keep mixing them up, the after about 3-4 mins, add the garlic and basil
4.  Take your tomato puree, and add a little hot water to it in a cup and mix it up - add this to the mixture
5.  After 1-2 mins, add the tin of cherry tomatoes and give it a good stir
6.  After another 5 mins it should be done and read to add to your pasta

Serving suggestion: Serve with some grated cheese on the top, whether parmesan or cheddar

It's nothing glamourous, but it does taste very yummy, especially with the whole kalamata olives. The quorn chunks are amazing too, they absorb flavour really well, so each one you bite into is like a little pocket of flavour :)
