Recipe Introduction


When we first married, I did not know how to cook and was almost afraid to try. This was one of the first recipes I remember my husband teaching me.

1 large or 2 medium onions, chopped

1 12oz. pkg. Morningstar Farms Harvest Burgers Recipe Crumbles

Recipe



Coat bottom of pot (5 quart dutch oven) with oil. Sautee minced garlic with onions and mushrooms until onions are somewhat soft. Add zucchini and let simmer until zucchini starts getting soft. Add Recipe Crumbles, diced tomatoes, and tomato paste. Let simmer a couple of minutes. Add water if you think there is not enough liquid. Reduce heat, cover, and let simmer for at least 15 - 20 minutes. Stir occasionally.

This recipe makes a thick sauce. Serve with pasta, salad, and garlic bread.
