Pasta

Method

Cooking the Pasta

  1. 1

    Boil Pasta

    In a large pot, bring water to a boil and add a pinch of salt. Add 8 cups of gluten-free corn rigatoni to the pot. Cook according to package instructions until al dente, about 8-10 minutes. Drain and set aside.

Making the Bolognese Sauce

  1. 2

    Sauté Aromatics

    In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Add 1 diced medium onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes until translucent. Add 4 minced garlic cloves and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

  2. 3

    Brown the Impossible Beef

    Add 1 pound of Impossible Ground Beef to the skillet. Cook, breaking it apart with a spatula, for about 5-7 minutes until browned.

  3. 4

    Add Tomatoes and Peppers

    Stir in 2 cups of stewed tomatoes and 1 cup of roasted red peppers. Mix well to combine.

  4. 5

    Deglaze with Red Wine

    Pour in 1 cup of red wine, scraping the bottom of the skillet to release any browned bits. Allow the mixture to simmer for 5 minutes.

  5. 6

    Season the Sauce

    Add 1 teaspoon of dried oregano, 1 teaspoon of dried basil, 1 teaspoon of salt, and 1 teaspoon of black pepper. Stir to combine and let simmer for an additional 10-15 minutes until slightly thickened.

  6. 7

    Finish with Pine Nuts

    Once the sauce has thickened, stir in 1 cup of toasted pine nuts. Mix well and remove from heat.

Serving

  1. 8

    Combine and Serve

    Serve the Bolognese sauce over the cooked corn rigatoni. Garnish with additional pine nuts if desired. Enjoy your Vegan Bolognese!
