About Tempeh bolognese

Tempeh Bolognese is a plant-based twist on the classic Italian meat sauce, originating from the Bologna region of Italy. This hearty dish features tempeh, a protein-rich fermented soy product, as a substitute for ground meat, making it a nutritious option for vegetarians and vegans. The tempeh is crumbled and simmered in a savory tomato-based sauce, typically alongside aromatic ingredients like garlic, onion, carrots, and celery, with the addition of Italian herbs such as basil and oregano. Often served over whole-grain pasta or zucchini noodles, Tempeh Bolognese is rich in fiber, vitamins, and minerals. It provides a good balance of plant-based protein and healthy fats, while being lower in saturated fat compared to traditional recipes. For optimal health benefits, it’s recommended to moderate the use of oils and pair it with nutrient-dense sides like steamed vegetables or a fresh salad.
