Impressive Beefless Recipe

Make A Vegan Impression With My 'Beefless Stroganoff' Recipe



1 lb wheat pasta or noodles

1 14oz container Tofurky "Giblet" Gravy

3 tbsp vegan butter
1 cup onion, chopped
2 cloves garlic, chopped
1/3 cup vegan white wine
1 cup veggie "beef" (I used Trader Joe's Beef-less Strips)
Sprinkle of vegan Parmesan to taste, optional

Boil water to cook pasta/ noodles. In a small saucepan, defrost/ heat Tofurky gravy over stove. In a large saute pan, melt vegan butter and saute onions and garlic. When aromas are released, add wine. Stir then cook for about 3 minutes. Add in "beef" and simmer on low until your gravy and pasta are ready. Add gravy to saute pan and heat thoroughly. Drain pasta and serve Stroganoff over pasta. Sprinkle vegan parm on top. You may also like to serve this dish with a side of country vegetables such as potato, mushroom, green beans, etc. Enjoy!

Filling, fabulous, and fun! Perfect dinner party or holiday dish!
