Cooking Steps
- Halve zucchini lengthwise, then cut into 1/2-inch half-moons.
- Roughly chop spinach.
- Peel, then mince or grate garlic.
- Add rigatoni to the boiling water. Cook, stirring occasionally, until tender, 10-12 min.
- Reserve 1/4 cup (1/2 cup) pasta water, then drain and return rigatoni to the same pot, off heat.
- Meanwhile, heat a large non-stick pan over medium-high heat.
- When hot, add 1/2 tbsp (1 tbsp) oil, then Beyond Meat® patties and zucchini.
- Cook, breaking up patties into smaller pieces, until crispy and zucchini is tender-crisp, 5-7 min.**
- Add garlic, half the Italian Seasoning (use all for 4 ppl) and 1/4 tsp (1/2 tsp) garlic salt to the pan with Beyond Meat® and zucchini. Season with pepper.
- Cook, stirring often, until fragrant, 1 min.
- Add crushed tomatoes, 1/4 tsp (1/2 tsp) sugar, spinach, cream cheese, reserved pasta water and half the mozzarella. Cook, stirring often, until spinach is wilted and sauce is smooth, 1-2 min.
- Season with salt and pepper, to taste.
- Meanwhile, grease an 8x8-inch baking dish with 1/2 tsp oil. (NOTE: For 4 ppl, grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with 1 tsp oil.)
- When sauce is done, add to the pot with rigatoni, then stir to coat.
- Transfer rigatoni mixture to the prepared baking dish, then sprinkle remaining mozzarella over top.
- Broil in the middle of the oven until cheese melts, 1-3 min. (TIP: Keep your eye on cheese so it doesn't burn!)
- Let rigatoni bake cool for 2-3 min before serving.
- Divide between bowls.
If you've opted to get Beyond Meat®, when the pan is hot, add 1/2 tbsp (1 tbsp) oil, then Beyond Meat® patties and zucchini. Cook, breaking up patties into smaller pieces, until crispy and zucchini is tender-crisp, 5-7 min.** Disregard instructions to drain excess fat.
