The soaked pasta is intriguing and I may have to try it. My only concern would be how “soft” the pasta gets…I tend to like mine al dente, leaning a little to the undercooked side. But my curiosity is peaked. There’s also the issue of having to plan ahead lol. I don’t do well with that at all. I’ll likely forget about it soaking. But maybe I should just be quiet and watch the video…good idea? 
OMG, super annoying video. He jumped all over the place. So bottom line, which he doesn’t really say (or it could be that I was so annoyed that I tuned him out)…how long are you cooking the pasta in the sauce? I definitely want to try it. And I assume you can use sauce that’s already made, whether it be from a jar or your leftover homemade sauce that you have in the refrigerator.

I don't have the patience to watch recipe videos. Is the pasta soaked to economise on energy?
I usually just make a one pot pasta dish in my IP and it comes out perfect every time.
Fieldroast Frankfurter cooked slowly with onions and hot banana peppers, on a bun with mustard/ketchup and a side of very puffy air fried potato pieces.

No, the pasta is soaked to about the consistency of fresh pasta. The reason that you cook it in the sauce is because it absorbs the pasta sauce instead of water. When you boil pasta and then put sauce on it, you have pasta coated with sauce. If you soak the pasta, and then boil it in the sauce; you have pasta that has soaked up the flavor of the sauce.
I didn't worry about it. The soaked pasta had the consistency of fresh pasta, and cooked just about as fast. I just kept tasting until it tasted right.
I used a bottle of sauce and it worked out fine.
The cooking time in the pasta is a couple of minutes.

I use the method of cooking pasta directly in a sauce when making one pot pasta in my IP. However, I really haven't noticed any difference in the taste. It's the sauce that's cooked in the IP which tastes better compared to making it in a saucepan.
I do like how he made his sauce. I'm going to do the same only I can't do chunky tomatoes in my sauce. I will need to blend them first.
last night was mushroom/garlic/onion/pea fried rice with Gardein chickn tenders on top

Tofu and vegetable pasta in udon noodles with soy sauce, ginger, garlic, broccoli, onion, bell pepper, zucchini and mushrooms.
I got hungry again last night so I had half a Goodfella's vegan "chicken" pizza for the first time. I wasn't that impressed.
last night was pizza night for us too - whole grain pizza flatbread, added pizza sauce and garlic powder, 2 cooked and crumbled Fieldroast Mexican sausage, green onions, hot banana peppers, pineapple, green olives, mushrooms, cheez shreds and some hot sauce as a topping

I saw a lovely mixed 5-bean stew on YouTube this morning. I'm going to make this later today for my dinner. Her channel "Curries with Bumbi" isn't 100% vegan, but she does post many vegan recipes. It's her most recent video, if you're interested in trying it as well. Her non-vegan recipes can often be veganized easily in most cases. Anyhow, I'm looking forward to a little spice. I might add a twist or two of my own.
