I'd just opened the Beyond Meat chicken so I wanted to keep on using it in case it went bad faster once it was open. It was a nice change of pace to the pasta dishes I've been eating recently and reminded me of the chicken and pasta stir fries that dominated so many of my dinners growing up. I've been really impressed at how long this one package of chicken is lasting. According to the package one serving is 6 strips, but I've only been using 6 strips per recipe, which makes it a much more economical option.
As you'll see below, it comes together really quickly. The timing really depends on what kind of vegetables you use and how soft you want them to be. The veggies and pasta cook at the same time, then you add the pasta and sauce to the veggies just to let the sauce heat up, and voila! You'll notice there aren't a lot of spices you add to this dish, because the sauce has so much flavor in it.
Ingredients: 1/2 Butternut Squash Cheese Sauce Recipe 1/3 Box of Bow Tie (or your favorite) Pasta 6 Strips of Beyond Meat chicken, sliced in thirds 1 Cup Kale 1/2 Cup Sliced Carrots 1/2 Cup Diced Onion | Prep Time: 10 minutes Cook Time: 10 minutes Servings: 2 servings |
Cook carrot and onions in a pan with a little bit of water until the carrots have softened a bit. You don't need to add any seasonings because the sauce is so flavorful.
Meanwhile cook the pasta according to the package directions. You'll want it a little al dente because the pasta will cook more with the veggies.
Chop up the kale and add it to the pan once the carrots and onions are just about done. Add the pasta and sauce to the pan with the veggies and stir all together. Cook until everything is warmed.
