tempeh - 1 pkg tempeh - 2 cups fresh bread crumbs - 1/2 cup of
flour - 1 tsp salt - freshly ground pepper - 1/2 cup soy beverage -
olive oil - 4 slices mozzarella cheese (real or vegan)
Tempeh usually
comes in 4" squares. Cut each square horizontally to make 2 pieces that are
about 1/4" thick. Cut each square diagonally to make 2 triangles. This will
yield 8 pieces Mix together the flour, salt and pepper. Arrange the flour
mixture, the breadcrumbs, and the soy beverage on three separate plates. Dredge
the tempeh pieces in the flour mixture , then dip into the soy. Then dredge
them in the fresh bread crumbs, pressing them to ensure that the crumbs
adhere. Using a non-stick pan and medium heat, brown the tempeh pieces in
olive oil on each side (approx. 3-4 minutes per side.) Place the tempeh on
a baking dish. Spread about half of the sauce over the tempeh. Add a 1/2 piece
of mozzarella cheese (real or vegan) to each tempeh piece and place under the
broiler for 3-5 minutes. Serve with the spaghetti and remaining sauce. Serves
