Vegan Pizza Pasta Sauce with Rigatoni

Vegan Pizza Pasta Sauce with Rigatoni is a nice new twist. Simply made from scratch with a blend of vegetables and sauces. Perfect!

Pizza Pasta Sauce is just like it sounds.  It is a blend of the flavors of red spaghetti sauce and red pizza sauce.

Made from scratch, the sauce is a very simple recipe.  Meatless ground beef crumbles are added for texture, bulk and nutrition.

There will be extra sauce after tossing with the pasta.  This was done on purpose so you can freeze the extra sauce for a future meal.

It will make your life much more simple. I hope you can try this recipe soon so that you will have a new meal for yourself and your family that is a delicious comfort food.
