Tempeh and Spinach Protein Pasta
Nutty pan-seared tempeh and chickpea pasta are tossed with vibrant wilted spinach in a garlic-infused sauce for a savory and satisfying meal.
INGREDIENTS
1.5 oz Chickpea pasta
5 oz Tempeh
2 cup Fresh spinach
0.25 tbsp Extra virgin olive oil
3 tbsp Nutritional yeast
2 clove Garlic
0.25 tsp Sea salt
0.25 tsp Black pepper
0.25 tsp Red pepper flakes
1 tbsp Lemon juice
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, crumble the tempeh into small, bite-sized pieces using your hands.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat and add the crumbled tempeh, searing until golden brown and crispy.
Add the minced garlic and red pepper flakes to the skillet, sautéing for one minute until fragrant.
Toss in the fresh spinach and cook just until wilted and bright green.
Drain the pasta, reserving a splash of pasta water, and add the pasta to the skillet with the tempeh and spinach.
Stir in the nutritional yeast, lemon juice, sea salt, and black pepper, adding a bit of pasta water if needed to create a light sauce.
Toss everything together until well combined and serve immediately.
