Vegan Amatriciana in jar cooking a new recipe of mine to add to the Vegan Jar Cooking Recipes, super easy, delicious, and perfect for dressing various pasta shapes!
Over the years, I have made numerous recipes using the Microwave Jar Cooking Technique, and each time, I try a new one, I’m as amazed as the first time! The flavor of foods cooked in jar cooking are truly unique.. and then the convenience of being able to store them longer in the refrigerator thanks to vacuum sealing has saved many families!
So after sauces made with meat like Microwave Jar Cooking Ragù or White Ragù in Jar Cooking, I decided I had to find a vegetarian or vegan alternative to my Amatriciana Sauce in Jar Cooking. And here it is! Ready in minutes and made with smoked tofu that gives the typical Amatriciana flavor!

Sauté half an onion in the microwave, or in a pan, with a little oil, then add it to the crushed peeled tomatoes in a bowl.
Add the pepper and smoked paprika.
Flavor with a teaspoon of unsweetened cocoa, a teaspoon of salt and mix to combine.
Finally, add the sautéed tofu sticks and mix.
Distribute the sauce in two 500 ml jars, clean the edges, and close with the lid and special seal.

Cook each jar for 6 minutes at your tested power (I use 600W) and, once cooked, let them rest closed for at least 2 hours.
