Vegan Sausage Ragu Pasta

1 package vegan meatless Italian Sausage
1 tablespoons oil
1 small onion, chopped
1 cup unsweetened dairy free milk
1/4 cup tomato paste
1/2 teaspoon Italian Seasoning
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1 pound bag orecchiette pasta

Instructions

  1. Bring a large pot of water to a boil and cook the pasta according to the directions.
  2. Drain the pasta when done and set aside.
  3. While this is coming to a boil prepare your meatless sausage.
  4. Take the wrapping off of the meatless Italian sausage and cut into 1/4″ to 1/2 ” slices.
  5. In a large skillet heat the oil and add the onion. Saute for about 10 minutes.
  6. Remove the onion from the pan and set aside.
  7. Add the meatless sausage and brown on each side. I did this in three batches so I had plenty of room for flipping over the sausage.
  8. Add a teaspoon of oil between batches if needed.
  9. When meatless sausage is completed add all of the sausage back to the pan along with the onion, tomato paste, milk, Italian seasoning, salt and pepper.
  10. Cook for about 10 minutes to thicken up the sauce a bit.
  11. If you are serving now:
  12. Add the cooked pasta.
  13. Stir and heat through.
  14. Serve with a salad and crusty bread.
