Beyond Meat Bolognese

Directions

1. 1
   In a medium to large stock pot over medium heat, add the olive oil, onion, carrots, and celery and sauté for 10-20 minutes until soften.
2. 2
   Add the tomato paste and deglaze the pan with the wine. If not using wine, use water or vegetable stock.
3. 3
   Add the fennel seed, oregano, and Beyond Meat Plant Based Ground. Using a wooden spoon, break it up and stir to incorporate.
4. 4
   Add the crushed and chopped garlic at this point - I like to add the garlic later in the recipe to avoid burning and it developing a bitter flavor.
5. 5
   Once the plant based ground is incorporated, add the crushed tomatoes, stir and reduce heat to the lowest possible. Cover for the first 30-45 minutes, slowly simmering. You can use right away to cook for up to two hours uncovered.
