Tempeh spaghetti Bolognese

Adam Guthrie

When you focus on wholefood, plant-based ingredients, you’ll get plenty of fibre while still enjoying all your favourites. This ultra-satisfying tempeh Bolognese by chef Adam Guthrie is a case in point.

Ingredients

Serves: 4

Method

  1. To make the bolognese sauce, heat a large pot over a high heat. Add the onions and dry sauté (no oil) for 1 minute, then add the garlic and sauté for another minute. Add a couple of tablespoons of water to deglaze the pan. 
  2. Stir in the carrot and celery, sautéing for a couple of minutes. Then add the mushrooms and tempeh and sauté for another couple of minutes. 
  3. Stir in the non-alcoholic wine or grape juice, tomatoes, passata, water, stock powder, coconut sugar, dried herbs, and basil leaves. Cover with a lid and bring to a boil.
  4. Once the sauce starts to boil, remove the lid and reduce the heat. Simmer for 30 minutes, or until it becomes a nice saucy consistency. Meanwhile, cook the spaghetti as per packet instructions. 
  5. Add the cooked spaghetti to the pot of bolognese and stir through before serving in bowls. Top with feta, if using, and enjoy!
