Meatless Pasta Sauce
This Meatless Pasta Sauce makes for a vegan-friendly and easy-to-make weeknight spaghetti. We added some extra vegetables to our sauce, but you can get by with just the beyond meat, some onion, and garlic. If you’re vegetarian, top your spaghetti with Parmesan cheese, or if you’re a meat-eater, simply substitute the beyond meat for real ground beef or ground turkey. And if you’re gluten-free, simply substitute for gluten-free pasta.
