Instructions

- Add the grated carrots and cook until they begin to soften, about 5 minutes.
- Stir in the marinated TVP soy granules and cook for an additional 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Add the tomato purée and green peas to the pan. Stir well to combine.
- Season the mixture with seasonings and add salt to taste. Let it simmer for 10-15 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.
- Toss the cooked pasta with the Bolognese sauce until evenly coated.
- Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and serve the vegan spaghetti Bolognese hot. Enjoy this hearty and flavorful dish!
Notes
- Grate carrots finely so they “melt” into the sauce and add sweetness.
- Simmer uncovered if the sauce is too watery; add a splash of broth/water if it gets too thick.
