Ingredients
Boca meatless ground burger

14 ounces (canned, do not drain)
Tomato sauce
14 ounces (canned)
Yellow onion

Dried thyme

Instructions
1
In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat. Add the crumbled Boca meatless ground burger and chopped yellow onion. Sauté for about 5-7 minutes, stirring frequently, until the crumbles are thawed and the onion is softened and translucent.
2
Pour in the canned diced tomatoes (with their juice), tomato sauce, and dried thyme. Stir well to combine, then reduce the heat to low and let the sauce simmer for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally. Taste the sauce and adjust the seasoning by adding more thyme if desired.
3
While the sauce is simmering, bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the spaghetti according to package instructions until al dente, then drain and return the pasta to the pot.
4
Once the sauce has simmered for 15 minutes, add the softened vegan cream cheese to the sauce. Stir until the cream cheese is fully melted and incorporated, allowing the sauce to simmer for an additional 3-5 minutes.
5
Pour the creamy Bolognese sauce over the cooked spaghetti. Toss well to ensure the pasta is evenly coated in the sauce. Serve immediately, garnished with fresh herbs if desired.
