Walnuts crumble into just the right texture to substitute for ground meat, and walnut crumble is incredibly easy to make with a food processor and a few seasonings. We at Glenda’s Farmhouse also offer pre-made walnut crumbles in Savory, Asian, and Mexican flavors.

Instructions

Walnut Meat Sauce

- Pulse to a crumbled texture. (Scrape sides as needed).
- On the stovetop, heat the mixture on medium heat. Stir occasionally to prevent scorching, browning the crumble and breaking up the “meat.”

- Serve over the pasta of your choice!
