Tomato Sauce: Place 12 oz tomato sauce, 12 oz can chopped tomatoes, 1 T. fresh or 1 t. Dried Basil, 1 T. fresh or 1 t. Dried oregano, 1/2 c. Chopped mushrooms in sauce pan and simmer for 15 minutes. Unmold loaf onto serving plate and cover with 1 c. Sauce, slice loaf and pass sauce for extras.

*I have made it without the wheat germ, subbing bulgar wheat but didn't care for it, the nutritional yeast is a flavor essential, I have used bread crumbs in place of the walnuts, but they add something very tasty (f*t?), poultry seasoning is a good addition to the sage, or extra sage, if you like it. I have used a can of tomato sauce with leftover or frozen pesto cube in it. Works fine!
