VEGE-MEAT SPAGHETTI SAUCE

   I have used this sauce on my brown rice pastas as well as for my vegetarian lasagna  ( I found brown rice lasagna noodles! )

Ingredients:

1 lb fresh tomatoes ( or get the can or organic fresh tomatoes but don't throw out the liquid )
1 small can organic tomato sauce
1 onion diced
4 sprigs fresh oregano
6 - 8 cloves of garlic minced
1 tsp sea salt
1 tsp pepper
2 tbls olive oil
4 leafs fresh basil mined
1 package of Yves vegetarian ground beef

additive ziners - for a spicier flavor -  Tobasco sauce and/or a Tablespoon of Capers

UTENSILS
Wooden spatulas ( one flat for turning ingredients and one round for stirring )
Sauce Pan

Place olive oil in sauce pan and heat.  Add the salt, pepper, and garlic.  Allow the garlic to cook for about 1 minute.  Add the diced onion.  Allow to slightly brown.  Then add the tomatoes and canned sauce, basil, oregano - allow to cook for a while to seep up all the flavors.  Don't cover as you want the mixture to cook down.   

After about an hour, add in the package of Yves vegetarian ground beef ( I suppose you could use ground up Tempe or Sorgum too ).  Allow to cook down.  Depending upon your palate, you may want to add salt.

Enjoy!
