This spaghetti was so thick, meaty, cheesy and fragrant! I got my picky eater to eat so many veggies tonight because they form the "meaty" texture and basically disappear into the tomato sauce! This "trick" was so successful, that I will be using it in the future for Vegan "meatloaf" and all kinds of other "meaty" dishes like sloppy Joes!
The sauce was so fragrant, that I couldn't keep my family out of the kitchen. My husband kept waking in saying " that smells amazing. When can I eat it? "
Best part about this dish is that I didn't use any fake meats, oils, or fake cheese. It's just all "veggie" goodness made with love.
