Among many vegetarian sausage substitutes, the one I prefer even over real meat products is the Meatless Breakfast Links from BOCA.\u00a0 I don’t know what it is exactly but maybe has something to do with the spices they use.\u00a0 Recently, I was chopping those defrosted links up, sneakingly munching some of the end pieces, and was planning to add them to a tomato sauce pasta.\u00a0 I had the pasta cooked and everything was ready to combine when I realized I didn’t have tomato sauce.\u00a0 There I go again, getting excited playing a game without checking the cards I have in hand…half freaking out and the other half of my mind getting excited with the challenge I encountered.\u00a0 Sticking my head in the refrigerator, searching for some substitute candidate.\u00a0 A-hah, basil pesto!\u00a0 Sausage and basil pesto was a combination I had never tried before but why not?\u00a0 Also, I was running out of choices already.\u00a0 Surprise, surprise.\u00a0 They worked incredibly well together.<\/p>\n
Long story short, that is how I came up with this gravy sauce.\u00a0 Not just the herby fragrance from the basil, but the nutty flavor and the cheese in the pesto worked pretty well.<\/p>\n
