Directions
In a large bowl, soak TVP in the soy sauce, worchestershire, beef broth and juice from a 35oz drained can of peeled whole plum tomatoes.

Cut onion and mushrooms into large pieces, and pulse in food processor along with garlic cloves until chopped. You can pulse until more paste like if you want (I did). Set aside.

Put canned whole tomatoes into food processor bowl and pulse a few times, until broken down. Drain through fine mess strainer, saving juices. Add juices to soaking TVP.

Add oil to a large pot or dutch oven, and heat on medium-high until shimmering. Put mushroom/onion/garlic mixture in pot and cook until starting to brown.

Add tomato paste to pot and cook until fragrant. Then add in pulsed whole tomatoes. Cook, stirring often, for about 5 minutes.

Add TVP mixture and all soaking liquids, as well as one can of crushed tomatoes, to pot. Scrape bottom of pot to get browned bits. Yum.

Let simmer for about 1/2 an hour.

Add 2 tbsp fresh basil before serving over pasta, or as is.
