Light Vegan Snack Recipe for World Cup Semi-Final Evening

As the Nine Days begin with the start of the Hebrew month of Av, marking a temporary pause on meat consumption, a simple vegan snack recipe is offered to enjoy during the second World Cup semi-final match. The recipe features crispy baked pasta chips served with a sweet tomato sauce enhanced with honey, making it a kid-friendly and easy-to-prepare option.

The pasta chips are made by boiling short pasta, then tossing it with olive oil, salt, pepper, and herbs before baking until golden and crispy. The accompanying sauce is prepared by sautéing chopped onions in olive oil, adding peeled chopped tomatoes, seasoning with salt, pepper, oregano, and honey, and simmering for about 20 minutes. The sauce can be blended smooth and served as a dip alongside the pasta chips.
