Chinese Spaghetti

  1    Onion; diced
  3 cl Garlic; or more, crushed
  1 ts Curry; or more to taste
  1 tb Ginger; minced
1/2 ts Chinese chili paste
 28 oz Can crushed tomatoes
  1 tb Tomato paste
  1 c  Vegetable broth
1/2 c  TVP® (optional)
       Cooked spaghetti

This recipe was inspired by watching an episode of "Yan Can Cook". I
don't even think that Yan would recognize it now.

Saute until tender onion, garlic, curry, and ginger in your favorite
sautéing liquid (on different occasions I have used the following:
wine, broth, balsamic vinegar, and sherry). Add chili paste,
tomatoes, tomato paste, broth, and TVP®. Simmer 10 to 20 minutes. If
it is too watery, additional tomato paste may be added, or a small
amount of corn starch mixed in water. Serve over spaghetti, top with
nutritional yeast.
