VEGETARIAN 'CHEF BOYARDEE'



Vegetarian 'chef Boyardee' image

Tastes a lot like Chef Boyardee canned mearty pasta. Only much better, and entirely vegetarian (if you can find veggie mushroom gravy mix; Kroger carries it in Mississippi) with a vegan option that I didn't like quite as much as the cheesy version but was still pretty tasty. I came up with it in an effort to make pasta while lacking the technology to boil a pot of water but having an oven handy. I've been making it for almost two years and it has turned out awesomely tasty every time. There are many variations to match what you have on hand but if you want a large batch of handy, healthy brown-bag lunches--what I always make it for--it's worth a special shopping trip. And you don't have to pre-boil the pasta. At all. And it keeps tastily for at least a week in the fridge.

Time 1h5m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 1/2 cups textured vegetable protein (TVP)
0.5 (3/4 ounce) packet mushroom gravy mix, similar flavoring packets can be substituted or 0.5 (3/4 ounce) packet mexican taco seasoning, enchilada seasoning also works
2 tablespoons oil
1 (14 ounce) box spaghetti noodles (If your box is larger, just remove a small amount(about as big around as the average thumb)
1 onion, chopped
1 -2 cup shredded cheese, to taste (optional)
1 cup hot water, plus enough water to fill medium-size casserole dish
26 ounces tomato sauce, of your favorite variety

Steps:

  • Rehydrate TVP, first adding mushroom gravy mix and/or taco seasoning, then oil, then 1 cup hot water.
  • In greased medium-size casserole dish layer (in this order from bottom up) cheese (opt.), TVP 'meat', onions, dry noodles, and tomato sauce until out of layering material; top with cheese.
  • Fill empty tomato sauce jar with water and pour over other ingredients; carefully wiggle a knife around in it to make sure the water gets to the bottom (but do not stir as the layers contribute to the goodness).
  • Bake at 425 F for about one hour (a few minutes less or more never seems to hurt it).
  • Serve with grated Parmesan for extra goodness.
