Spicy Garlic Noodles

From How It All Vegan by Tanya Barnard and Sarah Kramer (p. 83, doubled)

6 cloves fresh garlic, crushed and diced finely
3 Tbsp olive oil
1/2 c water
2 Tbsp Braggs or soy sauce
1 t paprika
1/2 t basil
1/2 t thyme
1/2 t black pepper
1/2 t salt
dash of cayenne if you like

Saute the garlic in oil 2-3 minutes until fragrant and translucent. Then add all other ingredients and turn up the heat to bring to a simmer. Cook at a low simmer, stirring often, for 5-10 minutes or until it thickens nicely. Toss with noodles or pasta of your choice.

We enjoy this regularly with steamed or sauteed zucchini mixed in, and a microwaved Morning Star Tomato Basil veggie burger.
