I'm going to be honest: spaghetti sauce isn't my favorite food. I like eating pasta with tomato sauce, but I don't love an overwhelming amount of sauce. Call me crazy.
That said, this vegan spaghetti sauce has a few additions that make it a delicious and nutritious sauce for tomato sauce lovers and crazy people like me.
I've taken a traditional pasta sauce recipe and added some veggies - mushrooms, and some protein rich tempeh. Mushrooms and tempeh add some extra bulk to the sauce, turning it from a nutritionally basic recipe to a well-balanced meal!
Step 1. Add the onion to a pan and sauté 4-5 minutes, until it turns soft and translucent. Add a splash of water if the onion starts to stick.
Step 2. Add the garlic and cook 30 seconds.
Step 3. Add the tomatoes, mushrooms, and spices to the pan. Bring to a boil then simmer 10 minutes.
Step 4. When the sauce has thickened add the tempeh. Cook 3-5 minutes more until the tempeh is warm.
Step 5. Serve with your favorite pasta and enjoy!
Thank you God for this meal. Watch over us as we eat. Amen.
