Cooking Steps
- Before starting, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.
- Wash and dry all produce.
- Heat a large non-stick pan over medium-high.
- When hot, add 1/2 tbsp (1 tbsp) oil, then protein shreds.
- Cook for 6-8 min, tossing occasionally, until cooked through.**
- Season with salt, pepper and Zesty Garlic Blend.
- While protein shreds cook, add penne to the boiling water.
- Cook uncovered for 10-12 min, stirring occasionally, until tender but still firm to the bite.
- To the pan with protein shreds, add broth concentrate, crushed tomatoes, 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) butter and 1/2 tsp (1 tsp) sugar.
- Reduce heat to medium.
- Simmer for 6-8 min, stirring occasionally, until sauce starts to thicken. Season with salt and pepper.
- Meanwhile, cut tomatoes into 1/4-inch pieces.
- Drain, then finely chop olives.
- To a small bowl, add tomatoes, olives and 1/2 tbsp (1 tbsp) oil. (TIP: We love using extra virgin olive oil in this tapenade!)
- Season with salt and pepper, then stir to combine.
- When penne is tender, reserve 1/4 cup (1/2 cup) pasta water.
- Strain penne, then return to the same pot, off heat.
- Add sauce, reserved pasta water and half the Parmesan to the pot.
- Season with salt and pepper, then toss to combine.
- Divide protein shred ragu between bowls, then top with olive tapenade.
- Sprinkle remaining Parmesan over top.
- Sprinkle chili flakes over top, if you like.
If you've opted to get plant-based protein shreds, cook the same way the recipe instructs you to cook beef, tossing occasionally for 6-8 min, until cooked through.** Disregard instructions to drain excess fat.
