Pasta med soja
This hearty soya mince pasta sauce with its meaty texture is the closest you'll get to a traditional Bolognese from the Northern Italian city of Bologna. I love how easy and uncomplicated this vegetarian mince recipe is.

You don't even have to rehydrate the soya mince ahead of time—which in my opinion is a win. It can be made in a big batch , making it brilliant for meal prep. I always make a double batch and keep half in the freezer for easy weeknight meals. This recipe is part of my classic vegan pasta sauces: check out my posts for cashew bechamel , tofu carbonara , or tofu alfredo.
STEP 1: Very finely chop the onion and the carrots with a knife or food chopper. Sauté the onion and carrots for 5 minutes over medium-high heat. STEP 3: Add in the tomato paste and spices, and cook for 2 more minutes. STEP 4: Add in the soya mince and tamari. Deglaze with red wine.

Give it a quick stir. Pour in the water and let it cook over medium heat for 10 minutes until the TVP has swollen and absorbed most of the water. STEP 5: Add the tomato puree and bay leaf and let simmer for 20 minutes over medium heat, or up to 2 hours over low heat. STEP 6: Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper if needed. Other flavorings and seasonings, like red pepper flakes, are great add-ins.
Serve the vegan Bolognese over classic spaghetti, tagliatelle , or your favorite type of pasta. Make sure they are gluten-free if, like me , you have a gluten sensitivity or have celiac disease. Soya mince and TVP Textured Vegetable Protein are mostly used interchangeably to refer to a granule-shaped meat substitute derived from soybeans.

However, they can differ slightly in their processing and texture. Soya mince is typically ground soybeans, while TVP is a specific form of processed soy flour, often extruded into various shapes for use as a meat alternative. Soya mince can be a healthy option as it's rich in protein, low in saturated fat, and contains essential nutrients like iron and fiber.
