“Yeah, yeah, we bring the stars out. We bring the women and the cars and the cards out. Let's have a toast, a celebration, get a glass out. And we can do this until we pass out.” There’s some Tempah for you, now for some TempEH (like what we did there?). Feast your eyes on this masterpiece. Tempeh is such a beautiful, versatile ingredient. It crumbles down to make a lovely mince-y bolognese and packs a massive amount of protein. Add it to your mid-week meal rota with confidence. If you're looking for a tasty and quick plant-based pasta dish, this really is something extra! Having the tempeh in there helps to add a load of nutrients into the dish. Making it a healthy veggie pasta dish too!
