I made several changes because of availability, and it turned out great! I used 2 pouches (4oz. each) of BOCA crumbles because the grocery didn't have Morningstar, and heated it with olive oil and about 1/2 tsp. onion powder instead of chopped onion. The recipe doesn't specify whether or not to drain the diced tomatoes, so I didn't. I used an 8-oz. can tomato sauce, 1/2 tsp. garlic powder, 1 tsp. basil, and 1 tsp. oregano because I didn't have thyme. I think it would make 4 generous servings. It was just me, so I only cooked enough spaghetti for myself. Thanks for sharing, tendollar. I really enjoyed this!

I've been vegan since February of 2005, and I was vegetarian for almost a year before that. I love cooking vegan food. People always ask me, "What do you eat?" or, "Doesn't being vegan make it harder to cook?" Nope! In fact, I've found that going vegan opened up a whole new world of cooking for me. I've tried ingredients I otherwise never would have heard of, and found vegan products that are even better than their non-vegan counterparts. I love creating new dishes and recipezaar has been a wealth of inspiration.
