1 Simple Sauce – Part 2

A Little Background

Welcome to Part 2 of the simple sauce series! If you are looking for a quick, flavorful weeknight dinner that comes together in a flash, this plant-based pasta dish is sure to earn a spot in your regular rotation 

Don’t forget to check out the tomato sauce recipe that can be made ahead and can be stored in an airtight container for 1-2 weeks in the fridge.

The star of the show is the soy chorizo, which infuses rich, savory spices directly into a classic garlic and tomato base. Combined with tender penne, fragrant herbs, and a touch of reserved pasta water, the sauce becomes deliciously glossy and clings perfectly to every bite.

It is satisfying, lightly spiced, and incredibly versatile. Whether you add the optional zucchini for an extra veggie boost or keep it minimal, you get a cozy, homemade meal with very little prep required.
