Methodbased on 4 servings
1

Saute onion and garlic in the oil in a large non-stick frypan over medium-high heat. Cook for 5 minutes or until the onion is translucent.

2

At the same time, using hands or a cheese grater, crumble tempeh into small pieces.

3

Reduce heat to medium, add tempeh, celery, carrots and mushrooms and cook for 15 - 20 minutes.

4

Stir through tomatoes, basil, oregano and salt and pepper. Simmer for 10 minutes or until the liquid is slightly reduced. If the sauce becomes too thick, add a few tablespoons of water. Adjust seasoning.

5

Meanwhile, bring a large pot of salted water to the boil and cook pasta according to packet directions or until just tender. Drain and divide between serving plates.

6

Add sauce and top with cheese and basil leaves, if using to serve.
