Ingredients

  • 1 bag (12 oz) frozen sausage-style soy-protein crumbles, thawed
  • 2 cups sliced fresh mushrooms (6 oz)
  • 1 cup grape tomatoes, cut in half
  • 1 can (28 oz) Muir Glen™ organic diced tomatoes, undrained
  • 1 can (6 oz) Muir Glen™ organic tomato paste
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 1/4 cup dry red wine or water
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 3 cloves garlic, finely chopped (1 1/2 teaspoons)
  • 1 teaspoon dried basil leaves
  • 1 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano leaves
  • 1/2 teaspoon fennel seed
  • 16 oz uncooked multigrain spaghetti
  • 2 tablespoons shredded Parmesan cheese

Steps

  • 1
    Spray 3- to 4-quart slow cooker with cooking spray. In cooker, mix all ingredients except spaghetti and Parmesan cheese.
  • 2
    Cover; cook on Low heat setting 4 to 5 hours.
  • 3
    Cook and drain spaghetti as directed on package. Serve sauce over spaghetti; sprinkle with cheese.

  • Veggie crumbles add protein and a meat-like texture to this sauce. Mum’s the word—no one will know this is a meatless sauce.
  • The sauce can be kept warm on Low heat setting up to 2 hours; stir occasionally. Keep the sauce in the slow cooker on nights when your family is eating at different times.
