Simple to make, this pasta dish is loved by all my family. When the kids eat two plates, it’s a good sign 😉
There are several brands of textured vegetable protein on the market. Personally, I often use Red Mill’s or Artisan tradition because it gives me the desired texture. Anyone could easily believe that it is ground beef when it’s well cooked.
