Instructions
  1. Wash the bell pepper well, and transfer to a chopping board. Peel and chop red onion, garlic (finely) and bell pepper into cubes.
  2. Heat oil on a saucepan, then add garlic, cooking on a medium heat for 1 minute until fragrant. Add in red onion and bell pepper, cooking for 3-5 minutes or until softened.
  3. Stir in the cumin, smoked paprika, oregano and basil, with tomato paste and a splash of water, stir into a paste adding salt/pepper and a splash of water, combine well and add in the vegan mince, once sizzling, leave to cook for 5-8 minutes, gently stirring, add a tsp of sugar to complement the flavours in the mix. Once cooked through, turn off the heat and set aside.
  4. Meanwhile, prep your penne, boiling 1l water in a saucepan with a sprinkle of salt and a drizzle of olive oil, to prevent the pasta sticking together. Cook the penne according to instructions, then drain well.
