Goulash is one of those meals that you really can’t mess up on and trust me… I have created some scary looking meals in my time! Goulash is literally the easiest and least time consuming meal that I make often, always my go-to meal when I am short on time and/or energy. I recently discovered veggie crumbles and was excited for the chance to make a vegan meal that traditionally calls for meat. There are so many different variations to this recipe and it is also a great way to use up food that may be going bad soon.

All that you need to create this delicious and easy vegan goulash half a bag of the veggie crumble, 1 box of your favorite pasta, seasoning, chopped onions and your favorite RAGÚ® Homestyle sauce. For this recipe I used the RAGÚ® Homestyle thick and hearty roasted garlic sauce, this allowed me to avoid having to mince garlic or add diced tomatoes. This sauce is already seasoned to perfection and the only thing you will need to do at the end is sprinkle on some nutritional yeast. I also has some mushrooms that needed to be cooked, I sauteed them on the stove and served them as a side… super yummy!

I was so thrilled when I was shopping at Target for groceries and discovered the new RAGÚ® Homestyle sauces! This is their thickest sauce yet and makes meals such as my goulash so simple to create! This is also their boldest flavor yet because they peel, chop and simmer all of the ingredients and use a special blend of herbs (basil, fennel, oregano and black pepper) to layer and build the flavor. They also do not use artificial flavors, artificial colors or high fructose corn syrup.

There is really no direction needed when it comes to cooking goulash! Simply add your meat substitute, preferred veggies and pasta sauce to the pot of cooked pasta, mix together and you are ready to enjoy! This meal is also great to make in large quantities and bring to an event, such as a potluck or BBQ. There are so many ways to get creative wen making goulash, but no matter how you make it, you are guaranteed to love this delicious and non time consuming meal!
