This is a variation on an award winning spaghetti sauce. I didn’t eat beef or pork for about 12 years before going full vegetarian in 2007. In that time, I used lean turkey instead of the beef the recipe originally called for. Now, I make it with Morningstar Farms vegetarian crumbles (ground meat substitute)… and it’s fantastic. <\/p>\n
There are a lot of variations on this… but here are the basics. <\/p>\n
Ingredients:<\/strong> Simple – and fantastic – starts here! Stir consistently while simmering for another 5 minutes. STOP STIRRING – add sugar (don’t mix it in) and Chili Powder (add in a different area from the sugar – don’t stir). Wait 3 minutes without stirring – then stir in completely. <\/p>\n Continue simmering for 30 minutes, then add the tomato paste. <\/p>\n Simmer 15 more minutes, stirring frequently. <\/p>\n Serve over your favorite pasta.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" This is a variation on an award winning spaghetti sauce.
