Ingredients

• 1 pack Heck! Vegan Italia Sausages
• 250g spaghetti
• 1 bulb of garlic
• 1 tbsp olive oil
• A splash of balsamic vinegar
• 1 tsp dried sage
• 1 tsp dried thyme
• 1/2 tsp dried oregano
• 1 tin of chopped tomatoes
• 1 tbsp tomato paste
• salt & black pepper to taste
• fresh herbs to serve (optional)

Method

1. Cut off the top 1cm of your entire garlic bulb and place the whole garlic onto a piece of aluminium foil. Drizzle half of the olive oil on top and close the aluminium around the garlic. Place in the oven and roast for 45-60 minutes at 180C.
2. Cook the spaghetti according to packaging instructions. In the meantime, fry the sausages in a small pan until golden.
3. In a non-stick pan, heat the rest of the oil. Place the roasted garlic cloves inside and add a splash of balsamic vinegar, then stir the herbs into the pan and allow to toast for 30 seconds.
4. Pour in 1 tin of chopped tomatoes and add 1 Tbsp tomato paste. Stir to combine and allow to simmer for 1-2 minutes. Transfer the sauce to a blender and process until smooth. Return to the pan and allow to simmer on a low heat for 5 minutes before stirring in the cooked pasta.
5. Season to taste with salt & pepper. Chop the sausages over the top, alongside some fresh herbs and serve!

Enjoy!
