Ingredients

Spaghetti or pasta of choice

2 C walnuts, raw, whole
½ pint (8 oz) mushrooms, whole or sliced
3 fresh carrots, chopped
1 red bell pepper, seeded and chopped
3 celery ribs, chopped
1/4 C fresh parsley, minced
1/4 C grapeseed oil
2 cans (14-16 oz) tomato sauce
1/4 C tomato paste
2-3 C water

Seasonings:

1 T chili flakes (crushed red pepper)
2T dry basil spice
2T brown sugar
½ C Parma! Vegan Parmesan

Instructions

Soak walnuts overnight or cook with a pressure cooker for 20 minutes. Strain before using. (Can probably cook on the stove in pot on low heat until tender.)
1 cup at a time, process walnuts in a food processor until they have a crumbly consistency. Do not over-process. Remove walnuts and set aside. Process mushrooms in the same way, until they have a crumbly consistency; should resemble ground meat. Set aside.
In a large soup pot, add your grapeseed oil and heat on medium – high. Sauté carrots, onions, bell pepper, and celery, stirring occasionally until soft and translucent. Add garlic and cook for 2–3 minutes. Add your walnut and mushroom mixture and stir until blended.
To the pot, add the tomato sauce, tomato paste, and water. Mix thoroughly and allow ingredients to Mary for five minutes or so. Stir occasionally.
Add chili flakes, basil, brown sugar, and Parma! Vegan Parmesan. Season to taste using salt, pepper, cayenne pepper, garlic, and Cajun seasonings. (I like Tony Chachere). Cover and simmer for 10 minutes.

Top with Parma! vegan parmesan, and parsley as garnish. Enjoy!

  Love Parma! We use it in soups, on pasta & roasted veggies.  The only problem is running out of it.  Getting ready to order more!!

  I simply love bacon Parma!!  I use on eggs, in macaroni salad, and on microwaved ears of buttered corn (my fav!).  I am on a strict low sodium diet, as well as being allergic to meat from hooved animals so Parma! is perfect for me without any sacrifice of bacon taste.  I just got some of the Jalapeno bacon and it's delish too!  I'll be a repeat customer without doubt.

  This product is approved by my whole family including my 3, 6 and 7 year old.  We love to put in on popcorn or on top of noodles.  Clean, healthy ingredients.  Perfect for anyone or those who want to be WFPB, no oil or added sugar!

  Parma, plant-based parmesan, is one of the best foods I've found. I tried the Better Than Bacon flavor because I did not want cheese that triples your risk of breast cancer. Parma tasted good and it's nutritional yeast is packed with vitamins, minerals and all essential amino acids making it a complete protein like animal products.

A study found people eating nutritional yeast were 25% less likely to catch colds than those not eating it. Other studies linked nutritional yeast to better moods and less fatigue after exercising. And, Parma offers other great for you ingredients, too.

  Hands down my go to "sprinkle it on everything" condiment! The OG flavor is super tasty but the jalapeno bacon is also amazing- It's especially good on my roasted sweet potato & eggs breakfast!

  Bacon freak comes clean:  I used to be a total baconhead, then I went vegan. I thought I was doomed to a life without bacon, but I was willing to do it for my animal friends. Then I discovered Better Than Bacon. Hoohah! I slather this stuff on everything and buy the big cans, five or ten at time. Jonesing for your clean bacon fix? Grab a can and splarge it across whatever you're having. With Better Than Bacon, you are Good. For. Life.
