Before starting, add 10 cups water and 2 tsp salt to a large pot (use the same for 4 ppl). Cover and bring to a boil over high heat. Wash and dry all produce. Add rigatoni to the pot of boiling water. Cook, stirring occasionally, until tender, 10-12 min. Reserve 1/2 cup (1 cup) pasta water, then drain and return rigatoni to the same pot, off heat.
Roughly chop spinach.
Heat a large non-stick pan over medium-high heat. When hot, add 1/2 tbsp (1 tbsp) oil, then Beyond Meat® and half the Italian Seasoning (use all for 4 ppl). Cook, breaking up Beyond Meat® into smaller pieces, until crispy, 5-6 min.**Season with salt and pepper.
When Beyond Meat® is done, carefully drain and discard excess fat. Reduce heat to medium. Sprinkle Cream Sauce Spice Blend over top. Cook, stirring often, until fragrant, 1 min.
