Just as people are able to enjoy a variety of meatless products that mimic the taste and texture of pork, chicken and beef, consumers are also being introduced to plant-based meat sauces. While there are many different kinds of pasta sauces that are traditionally made without meat, certain kinds of meat-based sauces—like bolognese—are off-limits to those who avoid eating meat.
Impossible Foods, known for creating Impossible Meat, is teaming up with Fazoli’s to offer innovative spaghetti dishes with sauces that feature meat alternatives. The Impossible Spaghetti and Impossible Baked Spaghetti are both made with Impossible meat sauce, which is prepared with ground Impossible Burger.
Vegetarians, flexitarians and meat eaters enjoy the taste of the Impossible Burger, so everyone can look forward to experiencing this meatless take on a traditional Italian pasta sauce.
