So delicious and savoury, even the meat and cheese eaters will barely notice – and I really like cheese. Don’t need cheese to make this dish awesome! No pictures, but the cucumber and fresh tomatoes give it really nice colour, and the savoury taste of the tempeh burgers, sundried tomatoes, fresh tomatoes, and generous amounts of olive oil (but not too much!!!) make it satisfying.
INGREDIENTS:
1/2 package rigatoni
5 (or more) sundried tomatoes
1/2 an onion
3+ cloves garlic
1 pack (2 patties) Green Cuisine brand tempeh burgers
20 or so grape tomatoes
1/2 long english cucumber
salt
pepper
olive oil
DIRECTIONS:
- boil pasta according to package directions
- soak sundried tomatoes in hot water. When soft, cut into thin strips.
- cut tempeh burgers into 1/4s and pan fry both sides until golden. Dice.
- dice onion and mince garlic.
- sautee onion and garlic in olive oil. Add sundried tomatoes. Add tempeh.
- Quarter the grape tomatoes and dice the cucumber. Sprinkle salt on tomatoes and let sit for a couple minutes.
- Add a bunch more olive oil to the pan. Toss pasta into mixture. Turn off heat.
- Toss fresh tomatoes, cucumber, salt and pepper with pasta mixture.
- Serve.
