How to Prepare Tofu Bolognese [Vegan]

  1. In a pot, boil the pasta according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.
  2. Meanwhile, heat the olive oil in a skillet and add in onion and garlic.
  3. Saute for 4-5 minutes, then mix in the carrots, celery, and seasoning ingredients (herbs, salt & pepper, chili flakes, tomato paste).
  4. Incorporate well using a spatula, and cook for 5 more minutes, until fragrant.
  5. Pour in the tomatoes and use your hands to crumble the tofu into the skillet. Cover the pot, and let simmer for 10-12 minutes on medium heat.
  6. Once the tomato sauce has thickened, remove from heat and season again to taste -- adding more salt, pepper, herbs, etc.
  7. Serve the bolognese on top of your cooked pasta and enjoy!
