Veggie Sausage, Ravioli and Mediterranean Vegetable Traybake

Oh yum I love this recipe so much. This is one of those meals that I make if I need to throw a recipe together and leave it to cook in the oven whilst I get on with chores or finish working, as it's so simple and easy to prepare but does need slightly longer to cook. I also tend to switch up the additional sauces and drizzles each time, so it's slightly different every time I make it but it always tastes amazing. If you're like me, you loooove Italian food (the extra 'o's there are completely necessary!), but the freshness of their ingredients and authentic day-to-day dining is something I often try to recreate at home and this is a perfect example, with the exception of veggie sausages! If you've got the time (and skill) to make the tortelloni pasta at home then please do got for it, but for convenience's sake I often buy mine from the supermarket as it just does make everything so much quicker and easier, but doesn't affect the flavour in any way.

It All Comes Down to The Choice

What I also love about this particular recipe is that there are many different ways to switch it up in order to suit any diet that you may currently be experimenting with. The sausages, tortelloni, feta cheese can all be adapted in order to suit your personal preferences - they do some amazing gluten-free and dairy free meat alternatives and stuffed pastas now (try Sainsbury's for these!) as well as dairy-free or cow's milk-free feta cheeses. If you do eat meat then you can choose meat sausages but it would be a much better choice to try the vegetarian versions. Linda McCartney, THIS and Plant Pioneers do some really great varieties, but again, if you have another meat-free favourite then go with these. This is the fun part of cooking, you can be versatile and make things your own - be creative!

Ingredients

  • 1 aubergine
  • 1 courgette
  • 2 red peppers
  • 1 red onion
  • 10-12 cherry tomatoes
  • 6 vegetarian sausages (I use THIS isn't Pork and Caramelised Onion Sausages)
  • 200g feta cheese
  • 300g Aubergine Parmigiana Tortelloni (but you can choose any filling)
  • Extra Virgin Olive Oil
  • Fresh Sage
  • Fresh Rosemary
  • Fresh Basil
  • Additional: Tomato Sauce / Pesto / Chilli Oil for drizzling and serving with

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 180°C / 350°F / Gas Mark 4.
  2. After washing, de-seed and cut the peppers, aubergine, courgette and onion into medium sized chunks and place in a oven dish. Drizzle with a generous amount of extra-virgin olive oil, salt and pepper and a handful of the fresh herbs, leaving some for the end. Place the dish in the oven and roast the vegetables for 30 minutes until they have started too often and caramelise softly.
  3. Throw in the cherry tomatoes and mix gently with the roasting vegetables, and gently place the block of feta in the middle of the baking dish and return to the oven for a final 15 minutes.
  4. Cook the veggie sausages according to the packet instructions, drizzling with a tiny amount go oil and turning during cooking if necessary.
  5. In a saucepan, cook the tortelloni to the packet instructions and then drain and leave to the side.
  6. When everything is cooked, gently mix in the stuffed pasta into the vegetable mix and place the sausages in the dish. Drizzle with the remaining fresh herbs and any additional sauces you would like (I love to add teaspoons of pesto, tomato pestos or sauces and a drizzle of garlic or chilli oil but this is completely up to you!)
