Cooking Class: Warmup "3 a.m. Pasta" with Tempeh and Vegetables

Tonight was the first of six Tuesday nights for the vegan cooking class that I teach. This picture is the cooking of my students. As I've described this class in the past,

today was mostly lecture, discussing some background about vegetarianism, and getting to know each other; working in two teams, they had about an hour to put together this dish named after what one can do to quickly put together a tasty and nutritious meal when a friend shows up to visit at 3 in the morning (this has happened to me a number of times!) It is a saute of tempeh, shiitake mushrooms, and onions, served over pasta (we used brown rice pasta today) with salad and bread/toast.

Their meal was very good!
