Vegan spicy meatballs and pasta

I'm not really a 'recipe' kind of girl, I like to just chuck everything together, no measuring, no messing. So this recipe is one of my quick and easy one pot wonders. Ingredients are basically whatever veg you like or have in, the sauce i make with tinned chopped tomatoes, usually two cans, or a jar of good passata, season everything well with salt, pepper, chilli powder and whatever herbs you like, I just use a standard dry herb mix. To start i fry the sausages off in a very small amount of oil and salt and pepper, while they cook chop everything into roughly the same size. Get the kettle on the go for the pasta, my favourite is wholegrain, or mix the bits left in odd bags. Once the sausages are cooked slice them up into chunks, add back into the pan with onions, garlic and chilli and fry. The amount of garlic and chilli depends on how much you want them flavours coming through, I like heat in this dish so add heaped tea spoon of chillis and teaspoon of chilli powder. Add the passata and rest of the veg and leave to simmer for atleast 20 minutes, make sure you keep tasting as it may need more seasoning or heat. Add to the cooked pasta and enjoy! This is a great cheap dish and goes a long way, feeds atleast 4 hungry mouths.
