Ingredients
- 1 pound bowtie pasta, cook according to package directions in salted water
- 1 package vegan beef crumbles, I used Beyond Meat which has about 330 grams per package
- 3 tomatoes, pureed
- 8 cloves of garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
- 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 1 pound green beans, I had these really tender beans that I left whole, but cut into smaller pieces if you'd rather
- 1 tablespoon minced fresh sage
- 2 tablespoons minced fresh mint
- Juice of ½ lemon
- Salt and ground black pepper to taste
Instructions
- Heat the oil in a saucepan. Add the garlic, stir-fry for a few seconds over medium heat, then add the beef crumbles and some ground black pepper.
- Saute, stirring frequently, until the crumbles are warmed through. Add the green beans and stir well to mix.
- Add the pureed tomatoes, red pepper flakes, and sage. Cook over medium-high heat, stirring frequently, until the sauce is quite reduced and the tomato is a few shades darker, about 8-10 minutes.
- Mix in the cooked pasta and stir well to mix. Add salt and ground black pepper as needed.
- Squeeze in the lemon juice and mix in the mint.
- Serve hot.
