Impossible Spaghetti Sauce - A meatless sauce! Pictured here is a look at the sauce as it is started to cook down.
Have you heard about the new Impossible Burger? It is now available just like you would buy ground ‘beef’ at the grocery store. I gave it a try as a substitute for beef in our favorite homemade spaghetti sauce recipe.
The result - it tasted GREAT and had wonderful texture. Bottom-line, it worked really well as a meat-substitute in my favorite homemade spaghetti sauce. For more on Impossible Foods, visit their website: https://impossiblefoods.com/
