Vegan Bolognese Sauce (With Tofu!)
Report
Simple to make, this vegan bolognese sauce uses a trick to prepare the tofu in a way that mimics meat. It's ready in under an hour and has fooled many meat eaters (see comments)!

Ingredients
- 1 lb block firm tofu 453 g
- 2 Tbsp nutritional yeast
- 2 Tbsp soy sauce 30 mL
- 1 Tbsp olive oil 15 mL
- 1 tsp smoked paprika
- ½ tsp each garlic powder, onion powder, chili powder
- 24 oz jar tomato sauce 680 g
- ½ lb uncooked pasta* 226 g
Instructions
- Prep: Preheat oven to 350°F (176°C). Drain tofu, then crumble it into small pieces.
- Flavor: Stir together crumbled tofu, nutritional yeast, soy sauce, oil, and spices.
- Bake: Spread tofu in a single layer onto a parchment-lined baking sheet. Bake for 30 to 45 minutes, or until tofu is browned and a bit crispy at the edges.
- Bolognese: Heat tomato sauce (on the stove or in the microwave), then stir in cooked tofu.
- Pasta: Cook pasta according to instructions on package.
- Assemble: Combine cooked pasta and tofu bolognese and serve hot, garnished with fresh basil leaves.
Notes
- Sauce Proportions: I like more sauce on my pasta, but this could be increased to 1 lb of pasta!
- Storage: This sauce can be stored in the fridge for up to 4 days in an airtight container. Or, you can freeze it for up to 3 months. Just store the pasta separate from the sauce.
