A couple days ago, I realized that I haven’t had spaghetti over a YEAR! (Prior To being plant-based) WAYYY OVERDUE 😩 So I made some tonight.
On my Strength Focused Training days, I split my meals into just 2 big ones, for the whole day (using intermittent fasting). I’m a volume eater, so I prefer fewer but Larger meals over multiple but Smaller meals throughout the day.

Ingredients:
- Uptonsnaturals Seitan

- 1/3 cup chopped red and yellow onion
- 1/4 cup Green Bell Pepper
- 1/2 cup chopped white mushrooms
- 1 cup meatless spaghetti sauce

How To Make Vegan Protein Packed Spaghetti
- Cook spaghetti in a pot, based on package directions.
- In a large skillet, saute the onion, bell peppers, mushrooms and garlic powder in coconut oil until tender.
- Heat Upton’s seitan in separate or the same skillet as the vegetables since the seitan comes cooked already.
- Add preferred spaghetti sauce, beans, tomatoes, seasoning, etc.
- Bring to a boil; cover and simmer for 10 minutes. Drain spaghetti; top with sauce.
