Cooking Steps

• Bring a large saucepan of salted water to the boil. • Cook orecchiette in the boiling water until ‘al dente’, 11 minutes. • Reserve some pasta water (1/3 cup for 2 people / 2/3 cup for 4 people), then drain pasta and return to pan.

TIP: ‘Al dente’ pasta is cooked through but still slightly firm in the centre.

• Meanwhile, finely chop garlic and brown onion. • Roughly chop semi-dried tomatoes. • Thinly slice cucumber into half-moons. • Roughly chop roasted almonds. Set aside.

• In a large frying pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over medium-high heat. Cook garlic until fragrant, 1-2 minutes. Add onion, stirring, until slightly softened, 2-3 minutes. • Add plant-based mince, breaking up with a spoon, until browned, 3-4 minutes. • Stir through passata, reserved pasta water and tomato & herb seasoning. Reduce heat to medium and simmer until slightly thickened, 2-3 minutes. • Stir through the plant-based butter and baby spinach leaves until wilted, 1 minute. Add cooked orecchiette to pan and toss to coat. Season to taste.

• Meanwhile, combine a drizzle of white wine vinegar and olive oil in a medium bowl. Season to taste, then add mixed salad leaves, semi-dried tomatoes and cucumber. Toss to coat. • Divide plant-based ‘beef’ orecchiette between bowls. • Sprinkle over almonds. • Serve with semi-dried tomato salad. Enjoy!
