To make the vegan Bolognese sauce, follow the same steps as for the traditional recipe, but instead of minced meat, use soy granules. In terms of protein content, granular soy is similar to meat: it is extremely fibrous dehydrated soy whose consistency is not compromised by long cooking. Soy granules have become the preferred substitute for a variety of meat-based preparations due to their many benefits.
Before beginning to cook, the granular must be rehydrated: typically, it is dipped in boiling salted water (or vegetable broth) and left to blanch for about 10 minutes: in any case, follow the instructions on the package of the product you purchased. Soy granules can be found in health food stores as well as some supermarkets. Season vegan noodles and lasagna with the vegan Bolognese sauce, or use it as a filling for cannelloni with some vegan bechamel.
