Cooking Steps
- Before starting, preheat the oven to 450°F.
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil over high (use same for 4 servings).
- Wash and dry all produce.
- To the boiling water, add cavatappi. Cook uncovered for 8-9 min, stirring occasionally, until tender.
- Reserve 1/2 cup (1 cup) pasta water. Strain, then return cavatappi to the pot, off heat.
- Meanwhile, to a large bowl, add Beyond Meat®, breadcrumbs, half the soy sauce, half the garlic powder, 2 tbsp (4 tbsp) milk, 3 tbsp (6 tbsp) Parmesan and 1/4 tsp (1/2 tsp) salt. Season with pepper, then combine.
- Roll mixture into 8 (16) equal-sized meatballs.
- Transfer to an 8x8-inch (9x13-inch) baking dish.
- Roast in the top of the oven for 10-12 min, until cooked through.**
- When meatballs are done, switch the oven to broil.
- Meanwhile, heat a large non-stick pan over medium.
- Add tomato sauce base, crushed tomatoes, remaining garlic powder, remaining soy sauce and 1/2 tsp (1 tsp) sugar. Season with salt and pepper. Bring to a gentle simmer, stirring occasionally.
- Simmer for 2-3 min, stirring occasionally, until sauce thickens slightly.
- Add 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) butter, then stir until melted.
- To the pan with sauce, add cavatappi and reserved pasta water.
- Increase heat to medium-high. Cook for 2-3 min, stirring occasionally, until sauce thickens and coats cavatappi.
- Meanwhile, roughly chop spinach.
- Add spinach to the sauce. Cook for 1 min, stirring constantly, until wilted.
- Season with salt and pepper.
- To the pan with pasta, add meatballs, then gently toss to coat.
- Transfer pasta and meatballs to the same baking dish (from step 2).
- Sprinkle mozzarella and remaining Parmesan over top.
- Broil pasta and meatballs in the middle of the oven for 4-6 min, until cheese is melted and the top is golden. (TIP: Keep your eye on it so it doesn't burn!)
- Divide cheesy baked pasta and Beyond Meat® meatballs between plates.
