Pasta with “Meat” Sauce

August 23, 2010 by epicureanvegan

Pasta with "Meat" Sauce -- Epicurean VeganIt really doesn’t get much easier than this, especially when you’re short on time to make dinner. It was my night to host writer’s group, so I needed something quick to whip up. I used Boca Crumbles, but Field Roast makes an Italian “sausage” that I think would work nicely as well.

INGREDIENTS:
14-16oz pasta, cooked
1 jar spaghetti or marinara sauce
1 bag Boca Meatless Crumbles (use as much as you want–depending on how “meaty” you want it)
Vegan mozzarella, shredded
Optional: 6-8 mushrooms, sliced

DIRECTIONS:
I added the frozenĀ  Boca Crumbles directing into the pan with the sauce, warming them together. I also added some sliced mushrooms and simmered everything for about 10-15 minutes. Top pasta with the sauce and cheese and you’re done! This is a great combination of carbohydrates and protein and perfect for the night before a hike or activity when you need some extra umph. Even for my morning run, I tend to go further, longer. Never a bad thing. Enjoy!

    I am a big fan of boca crumbles…I only wish I could find them cheaper around these parts! Great recipe though…it would satisfy any meat craving in a snap!

      Yeah, they’re not the cheapest, but every time I see a meat recall (or any animal product recall–which is a lot) I have no problem paying for these–it’s well worth it. And with this recipe, you could easily just use half a bag and save the rest for another meal.

The Epicurean Vegan is devoted to those wanting to eat healthy, save animals, and reduce their carbon footprint. My decision to go vegan started out as a quest to get healthier, but the more I learned about veganism, the more I realized how damaging the meat and dairy industries are to the environment and, of course, the animals. And it is for these reasons, that I would never go back to eating or wearing animal products. Ever.
