Cooking Steps
- Add 10 cups water and 2 tsp salt to a large pot (use same for 4 ppl). Cover and bring to a boil over high heat.
- Add rigatoni to the boiling water. Cook uncovered, stirring occasionally, until tender, 10-12 min.
- Reserve 1/4 cup (1/2 cup) pasta water, then drain and return rigatoni to the same pot, off heat.
- Meanwhile, roughly chop spinach.
- Cut zucchini into 1/2-inch pieces.
- Heat a large non-stick pan over medium-high heat.
- When the pan is hot, add 1/2 tbsp (1 tbsp) oil, then zucchini. Cook, stirring occasionally, until tender-crisp, 3-4 min.
- Season with salt and pepper, then transfer to a plate.
- Reheat the same pan over medium-high.
- Add 1/2 tbsp (1 tbsp) oil, then Beyond Meat® patties and garlic puree. Cook, breaking up patties into smaller pieces, until crispy, 5-6 min.**
- Add onions. Cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, 3-4 min.
- Add Cream Sauce Spice Blend. Cook, stirring often, until Beyond Meat® is coated, 1 min.
- Season with salt and pepper.
- Add 1/2 cup (1 cup) milk and broth concentrate to the pan with Beyond Meat®.
- Bring to a simmer and cook, stirring often, until sauce thickens slightly, 1-2 min.
- Add zucchini and spinach. Cook, stirring often, until spinach wilts, 1-2 min.
- Season with salt and pepper, to taste.
- Add sauce mixture, reserved pasta water and sun-dried tomato pesto to the pot with rigatoni. Stir to combine.
