Linguine with Impossible Meat Sauce
No, that’s not a plate of meat and cheese covered noodles *hass v’shalom*. It’s *meat* sauce made from Impossible plant based imitation ground beef. It’s so delicious simmered in a rich tomato sauce, served over pasta and topped with cheese. The kids asked for seconds, even the super picky one. Easy to prepare and would be great to serve the kiddos during the fast.
