Cooking Steps
- Before starting, wash and dry all produce.
- Core, then cut pepper into 1/2-inch pieces.
- Peel, then cut onion into 1/2-inch pieces.
- Peel, then mince or grate garlic.
- Heat a large pot over medium-high.
- When hot, add 1/2 tbsp (1 tbsp) oil, then peppers.
- Cook for 3-4 min, stirring occasionally, until tender-crisp.
- Season with salt and pepper.
- Transfer peppers to a plate. Set aside.
- Reheat the same pot over medium-high.
- When hot, add Beyond Meat® patties to the dry pot. Break up patties into smaller pieces, then add onions.
- Cook for 5-6 min, stirring often, until crispy.**
- To the pot, add Tex-Mex paste, garlic, marinara, broth concentrates, 2 1/2 cups (4 1/2 cups) water and 1/4 tsp (1/2 tsp) salt.
- Stir to combine. Bring to a boil over high.
- Once boiling, stir in cavatappi and reduce heat to medium.
- Simmer uncovered for 14-16 min, stirring often to prevent sticking to the pot, until cavatappi is tender. (TIP: If pasta sticks too much, add more water, 1/4 cup at a time. Scrape up any pieces stuck to the bottom of the pot.)
- Meanwhile, roughly chop spinach, if you like.
- Remove pot with cavatappi from heat, then add peppers, spinach and half the cheese.
- Season with pepper. Stir for 1 min, until spinach wilts.
- Divide Southwest Beyond Meat® and cavatappi between bowls.
- Sprinkle remaining cheese over top.
If you've opted to get Beyond Meat®, cook for 5-6 min, in the same way as the beef, breaking up patties into smaller pieces, until crispy.** Disregard instructions to drain excess fat.
