Spaghetti and Mock Duck with Tomato Sauce

This is a serving suggestion for pasta with sauce. The mock duck fried with the onions has a chewy, meaty texture and works with the spaghetti and sauce. If you like a pasta, butter and onion kind of taste, the mock duck and spaghetti stirred together without the tomato sauce works well also.

• Cooked spaghetti 
• Serious Tomato Sauce
• or other tomato sauce
• (use a store bought sauce if you want - I won’t tell)
• 2-3 tbsp olive oil
• 2 medium onions, chopped
• 1 sm can wheat gluten (mock duck)
• salt and pepper to taste

Fry the onions in the olive oil until translucent, then add the mock duck, season to taste and saute for a couple of minutes. Cook the spaghetti according to package directions, and toss with a little bit of olive oil or butter while still very hot. Serve the spaghetti topped with the mock duck and onions with the tomato sauce added. Or, have the pasta with sauce with the mock duck on the side.

Variation: Instead of mock duck, substitute a package of tempeh, steamed and cut into ½ in chunks. The cooked tempeh could also be mixed into the sauce.
