Cooking Steps
- Before starting, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.
- Wash and dry all produce.
- To the boiling water, add cavatappi. Cook uncovered for 8-9 min, stirring occasionally, until tender.
- Reserve 3/4 cup (1 1/2 cups) pasta water. Strain cavatappi, then return to the pot, off heat.
- Meanwhile, core, then cut pepper into 1/2-inch pieces.
- Peel, then mince or grate garlic.
- Heat a large non-stick pan over medium-high. When hot, add 1/2 tbsp (1 tbsp) oil, then peppers. Cook for 3-4 min, stirring often, until tender.
- Season with salt and pepper, then transfer to a plate.
- Reduce heat of the same pan to medium.
- Add Beyond Meat® and Enchilada Spice Blend. Cook for 5-6 min, breaking up patties into smaller pieces, until crispy.** Season with salt and pepper.
- Meanwhile, cut tomato into 1/4-inch pieces.
- Thinly slice green onion.
- To the same pan, add garlic, Tex-Mex paste and tomato sauce base. Cook for 2-3 min, stirring often, until fragrant.
- Add 1/2 cup (1 cup) reserved pasta water. Cook for 2-3 min, stirring occasionally, until slightly thickened. Season with salt and pepper. (TIP: Add a splash more reserved pasta water for a looser sauce.)
- To the pot with strained cavatappi, add Beyond Meat® mixture, peppers and cheese. Stir to combine.
- Divide pasta between bowls.
- Dollop with sour cream.
- Sprinkle tomatoes and green onions over top.
- Drizzle with hot sauce, if you like.
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.
