This meaty meat alternative is made from seitan. Seitan is ideal for this sauce as it’s high in protein and absorbs sauces and marinades easily. It’s the perfect conduit for all soaking up all those simmering, Italian flavors.

But you won’t need a spice store in your house to get this sauce to taste good. This recipe is only 3 ingredients, give or take some optional ingredients. Thanks to some homemade slow cooker marinara sauce that I had stored in the freezer, this recipe is a breeze to make on a busy weeknight. Use your favorite store bought marinara sauce, boil up your favorite pasta, and have dinner ready in minutes.
