Ingredients

  • 1 portion of pasta
  • 1⁄4 vegetable stock cube or ½ tsp bouillon powder*
  • 2 or 3 veggie sausages, cooked and sliced*
  • 1 stick celery, chopped
  • 1⁄4 bag of beansprouts

        Method

        1. Bring a large pan of hot water to the boil. Add the stock cube/powder and cook the pasta in it – check the instructions on the packet.
        2. While pasta is cooking, cook the sausages and chop up the salad ingredients.
        3. Drain pasta and let it cool in a big bowl.
        4. Finish preparing the other ingredients.
        5. Add the sausages, salad vegetables and herbs.
        6. Choose a salad dressing (e.g. Italian Tomato Basil Dressing). In a small bowl, mix the ingredients together thoroughly.
        7. Pour dressing over the salad and mix well with salt and black pepper to taste.

        For a vegan version, use vegan bouillion powder or vegetable stock, vegan sausages and salad dressing.
