Ingredients
Yves Ground Meat (Soy/vegan) Minced garlic 2 cloves 1 tbsp Minced basil,fresh 1 tbsp Minced parsley,fresh (I use the fresh frozen herb cubes from Trader Joe’s freezer section)Balsamic vinegar approx. 1/3 cup Olive oil 2 tbls.,cold pressedSun-dried Tomatoes ½-a jar Julienne Marinated in Olive oil, drain oil off (I get this from TJ’s also) (or buy the small bag of dry tomatoes and reconstitute in boiling water then slice jullienne.)Marinara sauce (TJ’s jar of 25oz Organic marinara) Pinenuts 1-2 tbsp (optional) can be added at any stage
Sauté the meat with all of the ingredients above, except the Marinara sauce, on a medium heat for about 15 minutes stirring frequently.
After the balsamic vinegar has evaporated a little then add the marinara sauce and continue to sauté until well heated.
This is a thick sauce. If you would like it to be thinner add 1/4-cup water to thin it.
I generally serve this stirred into whole wheat Penne pasta and then melt soy mozzarella cheese over the top in a casserole/ziti style.
(While all the ingredients are hot, quickly mix them together thoroughly and then sprinkle the grated cheese over the top and cover with a lid for 5 minutes to melt).
To cut back on calories cook wheat pasta while simmering and serve spaghetti style (more sauce than noodles), Sauce over noodles, no cheese, with steamed broccoli.
However, it can be served over any type of pasta or open faced sandwich with Parmesan cheese.
