Vegetarian spaghetti sauce with TVP, onion, garlic, and lots of herbs. Ingredients:
2 1/2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil |
2 medium onions, diced |
3 garlic cloves, diced |
2 (28 ounce) cans tomatoes |
1 (12 ounce) tomato paste |
4 tablespoons fresh basil |
2 tablespoons fresh oregano |
2 tablespoons fresh parsley |
1 teaspoon paprika |
1 teaspoon thyme |
1 teaspoon red pepper flakes |
1 teaspoon salt |
1 teaspoon sugar |
1 bay leaf |
1 cup textured vegetable protein |
Directions:
1. In a large sauce pan or casserole dish saute oil, onion, and garlic until it it begins to brown a little.
2. Put canned tomatoes, tomato paste, basil, oregano, parsley, paprika, thyme, red pepper flakes, salt, and sugar into a blender or food processor and blend until smooth. When adding canned tomatoes use a little water to clean the cans and add to blender mixture.
3. Add tomato mixture to onions and garlic.
4. Add bay leaf.
5. Boil textured vegetable protein in a separate pot until soft (about 5 minutes). Strain and add to sauce.
6. Simmer Sauce for about 2 hours. I have done both shorter, but I would recommend 2 hours.
7. Serve with your favorite pasta or use in lasagna.
