Pasta Sauce with Meat, Vegan Style
Monday, October 22, 2012
I never thought I would cook with TVP. There. I said it. I lived in a co-op for an entire year with a bin full of TVP and never touched it once. After all, what would I do with that spongy tasteless stuff known as Textured Vegetarian Protein or TVP for short? What would I make with it? Why would I not just cook with meat? I got my answer when I entered into a life of post-graduation poverty. I have not bought meat to cook with since being here. Instead, I eat meat when I’m out or when someone else cooks it but I never buy it myself because I’m trying to cheaply, and creatively acquire my protein without meat. But I digress.

I’ve gotten into something of a routine since coming here to Chile and as you can see from this post, it’s not always the healthiest.
Saturdays are my day to go to the market. There I buy all the ingredients I need to cook for the week and a few extra things to do some baking for my friends. This particular weekend was special, however. My friend Chris had just returned from a trip to the States and aside from bringing me all the things I’d asked my mom to mail to his house, he brought me a couple surprises.

I love simple recipes. It seems like an obvious statement but I think it merits being mentioned, especially when it comes to this recipe.
