Day 4: Is This Scurvy?

Vegan Week would be as incomplete as the proteins I'm eating it didn't get a full run of 7 days.

Here's all I could come up with on Day 4.

Back to basics. A typical pasta-and-sauce, with a few added tricks. Fresh oregano, mushrooms deglazed in grappa. Then you pour in a bunch of Textured Vegetable Protein and presto, you have an ersatz bolognese. It did the job.
