Heat olive oil on medium heat in a large skillet. Add onion, garlic & chick'n or beefless crumbles. Cook for 5 minutes.
Stir in spices & cook for another 3 minutes.
Add tomato sauce, crushed tomatoes, veggie broth (could also use plain, unsweetened rice milk for a creamier sauce) and bring to a boil. Bring down to low heat, scrape the bottom of the pan and cook for about 15 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add salt & pepper and cook for another minute.
Top with vegan cheese shreds/parmesan & fresh basil (optional) and serve over your favorite pasta noodles. Add more salt and pepper to taste.
