Vegan Spaghetti Napolitan for 1 package of pasta

3 quarts water
1 package spaghetti
2 tbsp canola oil
1 onion, sliced
1 Italian tofurky sausage 
1 cup ketchup
1/2 cup okonomi sauce
1/3 cup original soy milk
1/2 tbsp minced garlic

Cook spaghetti according to package directions
While spaghetti is cooking, heat oil then saute onion and sausage
In a 2 cup pyrex add ketchup, okonomi sauce, soy milk, garlic, and stir until combined
Drain spaghetti, return to pot and toss evenly in sauce mixture
Divide spaghetti in sauce and onion/sausage mixture into equal portions and cook in a frying pan over medium heat stirring frequently until sauce is less shiny.

3 quarts water
17.6 oz package spaghetti (I used Garafolo from Costco)
4 tbsp canola oil, divided
1 onion, sliced
1 Italian tofurky sausage (cheapest at Trader Joe's)
1 1/2 tsp minced garlic (I used bottled from Costco)
15 tbsp Japanese ketchup, divided
9 tbsp okonomi sauce, divided
6 tbsp original soy milk, divided (if using unsweetened soy milk, add 3 tsp sugar, divided)

In a 6 quart pot, bring 3 quarts of water to a boil, add spaghetti, and cook for 11 minutes making sure to stir well after 5 minutes to avoid sticking
While waiting for spaghetti, in a 3 quart pan heat 1 tbsp oil over medium high, add onion, and cook until soft
Remove from heat and divide onion evenly into three 1 liter containers
Drain spaghetti and divide evenly on top of onions
Cut tofurky sausage in half, vertically, and in half again horizontally
Dice into 1 cm pieces and divide evenly on top of spaghetti
Add 1/2 tsp minced garlic to each container
Heat 1 tbsp oil over medium high heat and add contents of one container
Top with 5 tbsp ketchup, 3 tbsp okonomi sauce, 2 tbsp soy milk, and 1 tsp sugar if using unsweetened soy milk
Stir until well mixed and fry sauce is less shiny
Remove from heat and transfer back to container
Repeat with remaining containers
Makes 3 servings/bentos
