Process

Note, these instructions are written assuming the standard serving size, since you have modified the number of servings, these steps may need to be modified for best results

Fill a medium-sized pot with water and bring to a boil. Cook pasta as directed.
In a large pan, drizzle some olive oil and add in 1 clove of minced garlic. Sauté on medium heat until garlic is fragrant.
Add in veggie ground meat, and add about 1 cup of pasta water or as needed. Cook for about 5-10 minutes.
Cut your cherry tomatoes in half and add them to your pan with the veggie ground. Let it cook for about 5-10 minutes or until the tomatoes begin to wilt slightly and turn into a light tomato sauce. You can also use a spoon to squish the tomatoes down.
Add in your vegan butter and spices and continue to mix until all spices and flavours are well combined.
Drain your spaghetti, add it to the pan and mix until everything is incorporated.
Top with nutritional yeast and optional vegan cheese, serve and enjoy!
