Spaghetti with Tofu Bolognese (vegan)

A Favorite for the Whole Family

25 Min.

Preparation

1. Prepare the tofu:
Wash the tofu well and crumble it with a fork until it has a minced meat-like consistency.

2. Sauté the onions and garlic:
Peel and finely chop the onions and garlic. Heat the olive oil in a large pan. Sauté the tofu for about 5 minutes, stirring regularly.

3. Build the flavors:
Add the onions to the tofu and sauté for 2 minutes, then add the garlic and sauté for another 2 minutes.

4. Add tomato paste & red wine:
Stir in the tomato paste and sauté for 2 minutes. Deglaze with red wine and simmer for about 4 minutes to allow the flavors to blend.

5. Refine the sauce:
Stir in the crushed tomatoes, agave syrup, ogano, and basil. Simmer for 3 minutes. Season generously with salt and pepper.

6. Cook the pasta:
Cook the spaghetti al dente in plenty of salted water according to the package instructions. Drain and set aside.

7. Serve:
Distribute the spaghetti among plates and spoon the tofu bolognese over it. Sprinkle with vegan Parmesan cheese, if desired.
