How to Make Vegetarian Pasta Sauce
- Finely chop the onion and mince the garlic. Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large saucepan over medium heat.
- Add the onion and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Stir in the garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
- Add the crushed tomatoes, vegetable broth, tomato paste, dried oregano, dried basil, salt, and black pepper. Bring to a simmer.
- Stir in the mushrooms and bell peppers and cook for 5-7 minutes, or until slightly softened.
- Add the textured vegetable protein (TVP) and cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until heated through.
- Reduce heat to low and simmer for 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally, allowing the flavors to meld. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed. Serve over your favorite pasta.
- Garnish with fresh basil before serving (optional).
