Whole spelt vegan pasta

Pasta and macaroni Italian cuisine

I was a chef years ago, and one dish that I crave and make often after being away from the professional kitchen after all these years is 'Pasta Della Nonna'. I liked the Idea that you could use a couple cheap ingredients (tomato paste! red onion!) and make something pretty remarkable. The original recipe (although, as you can imagine, there are countless 'pasta della Nonnas') used white hand made spaghetti, tomato paste, oregano and rosemary, red onion, no garlic, and was finished with parmesan and pecorino cheeses. My version uses the same foundation that makes this dish fun and special and CHEAP - red onion and tomato paste, but I use whole spelt pasta, marjoram for my herb, I do add garlic to my dish, and I don't eat dairy, so I omit both types of cheese, and frankly, it doesn't need it. <br /> <br />Oh, just so you know, this dish will set you back about $1.47!
