Recipe

Pesto Linguine with Tempeh

Tempeh is a versatile meat-alternative that’s easy to prepare, healthful,

and tastes great too. A staple food in Indonesia for centuries, it's made from

whole soybeans and/or grains. Tempeh is a rich source of protein, fiber,

vitamins, and minerals. This recipe uses Turtle Island Tempeh (see product

below)... convenient, delicious, and ready-made, it's the perfect addition to

this dish.

 

Ingredients:

8 oz. Turtle Island Five Grain Tempeh

½ cup soy sauce

¼ cup wine vinegar

8 cloves garlic

8 oz. linguine noodles

3 cups fresh basil leaves

¼ cup nutritional yeast* (optional)

1 ½ cups walnuts, chopped

1 cup olive oil

salt & pepper (to taste)

 

 

 

 

* Not to be confused with brewer's yeast, nutritional yeast can be found at

your local natural foods store.

Directions:

 

Make a marinade by boiling soy sauce, 2 ½ cups of water, wine vinegar, and

6 cloves of pressed garlic.

Chop tempeh into ½ “ cubes and add to the marinade; simmer for 15

minutes, then drain and set aside.

Prepare noodles in a separate pot. Boil 2 quarts of water and ½ tsp. of

salt; stir in noodles and cook until “al dente†(just a minute or two less

than package cooking directions); remove from heat, rinse, and drain.

In food processor, make a pesto by blending together basil leaves, walnuts,

nutritional yeast, and 2 cloves of garlic; pour in oil slowly while still

mixing; add salt and pepper.

Combine tempeh with drained linguini; add pesto to taste and toss. You can

also add your favorite veggies (fresh, steamed, or sauteed).

Meat Shortens Life Span

Red meat and processed meat significantly shorten life span, a U.S. National

Cancer Institute study has declared. The study reveals that this is due not

only to cancer and heart disease, but from Alzheimer's, stomach ulcers, and an

array of other conditions.

The study is significant because of its range and drastic conclusions. The

U.S. National Cancer Institute examined the dietary habits of more than a

half-million people, ages 50 to 71, over the span of a decade. Men and women

eating the highest amount of red meat were found to have an astounding 31

percent and 36 percent higher risk of dying from any cause. Causes of death for

those in the study included diabetes, Alzheimer's disease, ulcers, pneumonia,

influenza, liver disease, HIV,

tuberculosis, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, and more.

Inspiration

Meatout Feed-in for Peace

A thousand communities throughout all 50 U.S. states and 29 other countries

welcomed spring with colorful educational events in honor of Meatout 2009.

Caring people encouraged friends, family, and community members to “kick the

meat habit†on March 20th (first day of spring) and explore a healthy,

compassionate plant-based diet.

In Washington, DC, FARM hosted a Meatout Feed-In for Peace, feeding more

than a thousand people at a massive peace rally. Serving Tofurky sandwiches and

Primal Sticks (meatless jerky), volunteers engaged flocks of curious

demonstrators who learned about the inherent violence of meat and sampled some

of the best alternatives on the market.

Thanks again to Turtle Island and Primal Spirit for their exceptional

support and generosity.
