I adapted this from the PETA Celebrity Cookbook.
1 cup TVP granules
1 cup boiling water + 1/2 veg bouillon cube
2 dashes liquid smoke
3-4 dashes Tobasco
Dissolve the bouillon cube in the boiling water. Combine the TVP, bouillon, Tobasco & liquid smoke. Let stand for 5 minutes, or until all the liquid is absorbed.
2 Tbsp nutritional yeast
2 Tbsp flour
1/2 cup whole wheat bread crumbs
Combine the yeast, flour and bread crumbs in a small bowl. Add to the TVP mixture.
1/2 tsp rosemary
1/2 tsp fennel seed
1 tsp sage
1/4 tsp salt
ground pepper
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1/4 tsp onion powder
Grind the spices in a mortar and pestle. Add the spices to the TVP mixture. Form the mixture into small balls, coat with baking spray and set in a baking dish. Bake for 20 minutes at 400 degrees.
2/3 jar marinara sauce
1/2 tsp pureed chipotle pepper in adobo
2 handfuls fettucine or linguine
6 cups water
Boil the water. Drop the pasta in and cook until al dente. Drain and toss with a little olive oil. Meanwhile, heat the marinara sauce. A minute or two before serving, remove from heat and stir in the "neat"-balls. Dish up the noodles, top with sauce.
