Pasta Bolognese
Plant Based Pasta Bolognese
My husband is Italian so you would think I found this one for him but nope... I am the true pasta lover and finding some type of substitute for some of my favorites was a must!
So here you have a spin on the classic Bolognese Sauce. This was inspired by the Vegan Chef's video.
Ingredients:
1 Block of Extra Firm Tofu
3 Carrots
1 Small Onion
3 Celery Stalks
1/4 C Coconut Aminos
1/4 Date Sugar
2 T Italian Seasoning
3 T Garlic Powder
20 Oz Tomato Sauce
15 Oz Crushed Tomatoes
Crushed Red Pepper to Taste
Salt/Pepper to Taste
1 lb of Whole Wheat Pasta
Directions:
Cut and Dice your Carrots, Onion and Celery into bite size pieces. Heat Sauce pan and add Carrots, Onions and Celery (add a small dab of water if veggies are sticking to pan). Sauté veggies 5-10 mins until softened. Crumble Tofu by hand and had to Sauce pan. Let sizzle/cook for an additional 5-8 mins. Then add, Crushed Tomatoes, Tomato Sauce, Coconut Aminos, Date Sugar, Italian Seasoning, Garlic Powder, Red Pepper and Salt/Pepper to pan. Stir and let come to a slight boil. Then turn down to simmer, stir again and let simmer for 30-45mins (but the longer the better). Stirring occasionally.
Once ready - Prepare Pasta according to directions. Drain and serve pasta with Bolognese Sauce on top!
Serves 6
