Creamy Marinara Pasta with Crispy Plant-Based Bites
Pan-seared tempeh bites and chickpea pasta are tossed in a velvety marinara sauce for a meal with a satisfying crunch.
INGREDIENTS
1.5 oz chickpea pasta
5 oz tempeh
0.5 cup marinara sauce
2 tbsp plain non-fat Greek yogurt
1 tsp extra virgin olive oil
0.25 tsp garlic powder
0.25 tsp smoked paprika
0.25 tsp sea salt
0.25 tsp black pepper
1 tbsp fresh basil
PREPARATION
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the chickpea pasta according to package directions until al dente.
While the pasta cooks, cut the tempeh into small half-inch cubes.
Heat the olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat and add the tempeh cubes.
Season the tempeh with garlic powder, smoked paprika, sea salt, and black pepper, sautéing until golden and crispy on all sides.
In a small saucepan, warm the marinara sauce over low heat, then whisk in the Greek yogurt until the sauce is creamy and pink.
Drain the pasta and toss it directly into the creamy marinara sauce until well coated.
Serve the pasta in a bowl topped with the crispy tempeh bites and a garnish of fresh chopped basil.
