SPICY TEMPEH AND BROCCOLI RABE WITH ROTELLE



Spicy Tempeh and Broccoli Rabe With Rotelle image

One of my absolute favorite vegan dishes that is reminiscent of the Italian dish with sausage. Any shape pasta will work, but I've found that the spiral shaped works best. I have also made this with just spinach or regular broccoli in place of the broccoli rabe.

Time 45m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 17

1/2 lb whole wheat spiral pasta or 1/2 lb other spiral-shaped pasta
1 (15 ounce) package tempeh, cubed
1/2 cup vegetable broth, plus
2 tablespoons vegetable broth
2 tablespoons soy sauce
2 tablespoons tomato paste
1 garlic clove, pressed
1 tablespoon fennel seed
1 teaspoon red pepper flakes (to taste)
1 1/2 teaspoons dried oregano
1/2 teaspoon red wine vinegar
1/4 cup olive oil
5 garlic cloves, sliced thinly
1 bunch broccoli rabe, tough stems trimmed, chopped coarsely (1/2-3/4 pound)
2 -3 tablespoons water or 2 -3 tablespoons vegetable broth
2 teaspoons red wine vinegar or 2 teaspoons balsamic vinegar
salt & freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of salted water to boil, add the pasta and cook according to the package directions, usually about 10 minutes. Drain the pasta, toss with a teaspoon or two of olive oil and keep covered either in a large covered serving bowl or the cooking pot. While your pasta is boiling, prepare the other ingredients/.
  • Tempeh: Place the tempeh in a large, nonstick skillet. In a measuring cup, whisk together the vegetable broth, tomato paste, soy sauce, garlic, fennel seeds, red pepper flakes, and oregano. Pour over the tempeh, stir to coat, and cook over medium heat until the liquid starts to simmer. Cover the pan and steam the tempeh for 8 minutes, or until most of the liquid is absorbed and the tempeh is tender. Stir a few times while tempeh is steaming.
  • Transfer the tempeh to a bowl and crumble about half the cubes with the back of a spoon.
  • Wipe down the skillet to remove any leftover tempeh sauce, return the skillet to medium heat and add 2 tablespoons olive oil. To test the heat, drop a bit of tempeh into the oil- when it sizzles, the oil is hot enough. Add the tempeh and stir-fry for 4 to 5 minutes, until it begins to brown. Remove from heat, add to the pasta, and keep covered.
  • Broccoli rabe: Pour the remaining olive oil into the pan and add the sliced garlic. When the garlic begins to sizzle, stir and cook it for about a minute. Add the broccoli rabe, stir to coat it with the oil, sprinkle with a little salt, and cover the pan. Cook for about 2 minutes. Sprinkle with 2 tablespoons of the white wine and steam for 8 to 10 minutes, until the broccoli rabe is bright green and its stems are tender (you may need to do this in 2 batches, just add the second batch of broccoli rabe when the first batch has wilted enough to leave room in your pan).
  • Remove the cover and continue to saute for an additional minute or two, until any excess liquid is evaporated. Pour the cooked broccoli rabe onto the tempeh and pasta, sprinkle with red wine vinegar, season with salt and pepper, and toss everything to mix.

Tips:

  • Choose the right pasta. Rotelle, also known as wagon wheels, are a perfect choice for this recipe because their shape holds the sauce well. However, you can use any short pasta shape, such as penne, shells, or macaroni.
  • Cook the pasta al dente. This means that the pasta should be cooked through but still have a slight bite to it. Overcooked pasta will be mushy and won't hold the sauce as well.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan when cooking the broccoli. If you do, the broccoli will steam instead of roasting and won't get as caramelized. If you need to cook the broccoli in batches, be sure to adjust the cooking time accordingly.
  • Make the peanut sauce ahead of time. This will give the flavors time to meld and develop. You can make the sauce up to 3 days in advance and store it in the refrigerator.
  • Serve the pasta immediately. This dish is best when served hot, so don't let it sit around for too long before eating.

Conclusion:

This rotelle with broccoli and spicy peanut sauce is an easy and delicious weeknight meal. The creamy peanut sauce is the perfect complement to the roasted broccoli and al dente pasta. This dish is sure to become a family favorite.
