Tvp Spaghetti Sauce image

This is based on my family's traditional spaghetti meat sauce, but uses TVP (textured vegetable protein) instead of meat. The amount of TVP, though, is approximate. I usually just put a couple of handfuls, using the guideline that when it re-hydrates it swells to approximately twice its volume, so how much you put depends on how thick you want your sauce.
