Vegan Chili Mac

Servings 6

Ingredients
  

  • 8 ounces elbow macaroni or other pasta
  • 1 tablespoon olive or vegetable oil
  • 1 onion chopped
  • 2-3 garlic cloves minced
  • ¾ cup textured vegetable protein or vegan beef crumbles TVP, try Beyond Meat or Tofurky
  • 1 cup hot water or vegetable broth
  • 1 small bell pepper diced
  • 1 15-ounce can crushed tomatoes
  • 1 15-ounce can kidney pinto, or black beans, drained and rinsed
  • 1 cup frozen or fresh corn
  • 1 tablespoon chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • ½ cup vegan cheese
  • Hot sauce optional
  • 6 sprigs fresh parsley optional

Instructions
 

  • Cook the pasta until al dente (cooked through, but still slightly firm). Drain and rinse under hot water. Set aside.
  • Heat the oil in a large pot. Add the onion and garlic and cook until soft, about 3 minutes.
  • Add remaining ingredients except for the cheese, hot sauce, and parsley. Stir to mix and then simmer over medium heat for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  • Add the cheese and stir until cheese is melted completely. Stir in pasta and adjust spices to taste. Add some hot sauce for a spicy kick. Serve with a little extra vegan cheese and fresh parsley.
