Description
A delicious and easy one-pot spaghetti dish using Impossible meat and fresh spinach, perfect for a quick weeknight meal.
Ingredients
Scale
- 3/4 pound Impossible meat
- 1 tablespoon salt-free Italian seasoning
- 4–5 cloves minced garlic
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons tomato paste
- 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
- 1 teaspoon white sugar
- 24 ounces marinara sauce
- 2 and 1/2 cups vegetable broth
- 8 ounces spaghetti (broken in half)
- 3–4 handfuls fresh spinach
- 2 tablespoons nutritional yeast (optional)
- to taste red pepper flakes, salt, freshly ground black pepper
- for serving fresh basil and Parmesan
Instructions
- Heat a 5 quart Dutch oven or stock pot over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the Impossible meat, Italian seasoning, minced garlic, onion powder, and black pepper.
- Use a spatula to chop up the meat into ground consistency. Cook the meat until mostly browned, about 3-4 minutes. Add the tomato paste, cooking another 2 minutes. Stir occasionally to prevent burning.
- Deglaze the pot with balsamic vinegar. Add the sugar, marinara sauce, and vegetable broth. Bring to a rapid simmer over medium-high heat. Once almost boiling, lay the broken spaghetti on the sauce. Press the spaghetti down so that it’s fully covered by liquid. Add extra broth if needed.
- Reduce the heat to a slow simmer. Cover with a lid and cook for 15 minutes total, removing the lid every 5 minutes to stir the spaghetti. The spaghetti is ready when cooked through to al dente.
- Stir in the spinach and nutritional yeast. Taste for salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes. Serve topped with grated Parmesan and basil.
Notes
- Note #1: You can use any brand of plant-based ground meat.
- Note #2: For best results, break the spaghetti in half before adding to the pot.
