Tomato Mac or pasta

I have a Blue Jeans pressure cooker cook book and came across this recipe tonight and was pleased with the outcome, after a few twists to make it plant based.

The author states that this is a comfort food from Quebec. I was surprised at how much I liked it-it has a similar, yet lighter taste than the red pepper pasta.

1 onion, diced

4 garlic cloves, smashed and diced

3 celery stalks, diced

dua quarts canned tomatoes (or equivalent) with liquid

seperempat cup fresh basil

1/dua-1cup water

2 teaspoons salt

2 teaspoons chicken bouillon(plant based link)

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

1 cup raw almonds

1 cup water

tiga garlic cloves

1/dua teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

4 cups whole wheat pasta

dua Tablespoons tomato paste

Saute vegetables in 1-dua Tablespoons water until tender.

Add tomato paste, and spices. Stir to mix them in.

Add tomatoes and pasta, and cover and cook for 5 minutes.

Allow to quick release of the steam.

I'm the meantime, blend and, 1 cup of water, add additional garlic, bouillon, and smoked paprika, basil and salt to taste.

Once pasta has cooked, stir in almond mixture and serve..
