SPICY TEMPEH AND BROCCOLI RABE WITH ROTELLE
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.

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.

SPAGHETTI WITH BROCCOLI RABE, TOASTED GARLIC AND BREAD CRUMBS
Broccoli rabe can take whatever you throw at it and still shine. Its mild but distinctive bitterness dominates almost anything you cook it with - but what's wrong with that? So a pasta sauce that features it teamed with garlic and chili flakes is a natural. Add bread crumbs for crunch and the dish is a real winner. You can use the same pot for cooking the broccoli and the pasta; you can use the same skillet for toasting the bread crumbs and finishing the dish. The whole thing will be done within 20 or 30 minutes, and it will showcase broccoli rabe beautifully, as it deserves.

Tips:
- Prep Ahead: Save time by prepping the tempeh, broccoli rabe, and rotini pasta in advance. This way, you can easily assemble the dish when you're ready to cook.
- Choose the Right Tempeh: Look for tempeh that is firm and has a nutty flavor. Avoid tempeh that is too soft or crumbly.
- Cook the Tempeh Thoroughly: Make sure to cook the tempeh until it is crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. This will help bring out its full flavor.
- Don't Overcook the Broccoli Rabe: Broccoli rabe should be cooked until it is bright green and tender, but not mushy. Overcooking will make it lose its vibrant color and flavor.
- Use a Good Quality Olive Oil: The olive oil you use will make a big difference in the flavor of the dish. Choose a high-quality extra virgin olive oil that has a fruity flavor.
- Season to Taste: Don't be afraid to adjust the seasonings to your liking. Add more garlic, red pepper flakes, or Parmesan cheese if you want a more flavorful dish.
Conclusion:
This spicy tempeh and broccoli rabe with rotini is a delicious and satisfying meal that is perfect for a quick and easy weeknight dinner.
