Calling all vegetarians and pasta lovers! Get ready to tantalize your taste buds with our collection of flavorful vegetarian spaghetti sauces made with the versatile ingredient, textured vegetable protein (TVP). TVP, known for its meat-like texture, is a plant-based protein powerhouse that adds a satisfying bite to our sauces.

Our first recipe, the Classic Marinara, is a timeless favorite. We've elevated the traditional sauce with a blend of fresh tomatoes, aromatic herbs, and a touch of sweetness from carrots.

For those who crave a creamy indulgence, our Creamy Pesto Sauce will hit the spot. This luscious sauce combines the nutty flavor of pesto with a creamy cashew base, creating a velvety texture that perfectly coats every strand of spaghetti.

If you're in the mood for something spicy, our Arrabbiata Sauce is sure to set your taste buds ablaze. This fiery sauce is made with crushed red pepper flakes, garlic, and a hint of tomato, resulting in a bold and flavorful dish that's perfect for spice enthusiasts.

Craving something a little different? Our unique Sweet Potato Sauce offers a delightful twist on the classic spaghetti sauce. Roasted sweet potatoes, combined with a medley of spices and a touch of maple syrup, create a rich and subtly sweet sauce that will surprise and delight your palate.

Lastly, our hearty Mushroom Bolognese Sauce is a meatless masterpiece. We've packed this sauce with a variety of mushrooms, including earthy porcini and flavorful shiitake, simmered in a rich tomato broth. The result is a robust and umami-filled sauce that will satisfy even the most discerning pasta aficionado.

Let's cook with our recipes!

TVP SPAGHETTI SAUCE



Tvp Spaghetti Sauce image

This is based on my family's traditional spaghetti meat sauce, but uses TVP (textured vegetable protein) instead of meat. The amount of TVP, though, is approximate. I usually just put a couple of handfuls, using the guideline that when it re-hydrates it swells to approximately twice its volume, so how much you put depends on how thick you want your sauce.

Time 30m

Yield 3 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 14

300 g spaghetti
4 cups water
1 cup textured vegetable protein
1 medium green bell pepper, chopped
1 medium onion, chopped finely
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
3 tablespoons tomato paste
2 tablespoons coconut milk (optional)
5 drops lemon juice (only if using coconut milk)
1/2 teaspoon thyme
1/4 teaspoon curry powder
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1/8 teaspoon nutmeg
salt

Steps:

  • In a non-stick skillet over medium heat, add the oil. When the oil is warm, add the onions and cook until soft. About 4-5 minutes. Stir occasionally. Add a dash of salt and bell pepper and cook for about 2-3 minutes. Reduce heat to low-medium and add black pepper and another dash of salt, stir, cover and let it cook.
  • Meanwhile put the TVP in a bowl and add enough boiling water to cover. Let it sit for 2-3 minutes. It should be soft. Strain and put a heavy saucepan over the TVP and drain as much water as you can, chop finely, then add the TVP along with spices and stir. You also can use Textured soy protein, but you don't need to chop them. Add the tomato paste and stir again. Let it cook for a minute or two. Taste, then add the coconut milk and lemon juice (if using), stir and remove from heat.
  • For the spaghetti, add the water in a saucepan over high heat. Add 1/2 tsp salt and 2-3 drops of oil and let it come to a boil. Add the spaghetti and cook on high heat for 7-8 minutes.
  • Serve some of the spaghetti with 1 to 2 spoons of the sauce and garnish with a spring of mint or basil.

Tips:
