Edit: this got too long. I'm sorry. But its good! And I think some hints that would have helped me!! :((((
One that is weirdly popular with anyone I cooced it for: pasta with creamy vegan chicken, pesto sauce. Here in Germany every supermarket by now has cheap, vegan chicken chunks.
Prep: chop onions, maybe garlic. Dice celery (root, or knot. Not the green stick things), maybe a bit of carrots very finely. If you want, you can dice a few cocktail tomatos for a bit of soureness. All while heating the pan, if you have, use stainless steal to get the most flavor (tip for better results: get it pretty hot, to where water droplets don't stick but dance in the pan, but not too hot, so that the oil does not smoke. Put oil in only when the pan is hot (dancing water)) I don't prefer Teflon as the don't develop any flavour, they just get hot. You could also use a stainless steel pot I suppose, but they have a smaller bottom so things take longer and don't end up as nicely
You can start to boil water now.
Put everything In the pan (maybe garlic a bit later to prevent it from burning) and add the chicken chunks. Fry everything until the carrots and celery is a bit soft and everything is nice and brown. Turn down the heat to low medium.
Put the pasta in the water now.
Add 2 tbs of basil pesto (I love the vegan one from Barilla), herbs (ital. Herbs, Rosemary, basil, caraway, whatever is in you spice rack). Maybe add a few tbs of soy sauce (always get the kikoman, nothing else please.) and if you want adda tea spoon of miso paste. Stir everything while scaling the bottom to get the flavours off and prevent burning. Than add about, 500ml of cream (soy or oat, whatever you want). Add veggie stock and mushroom powder (secret tip to get umami. Its addictive. Get it in most asia n supermarkets).
Then simmer and stir and scape the bottom, add the tomatoes in the last few minutes, until pasta is done.
Have fun with it!
