This is a quick and easy vegetarian recipe that works great for dinner parties or a quiet night at home! Serve with ciabatta rolls or garlic bread and a nice bottle of wine.
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 (8 ounce) package tempeh, crumbled
- ½ cup chopped zucchini
- ½ cup chopped red bell pepper
- ½ cup chopped carrot
- 1 ¾ cups milk
- 1 (3.5 ounce) package dry Alfredo sauce mix (such as Knorr®)
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1 (16 ounce) package spaghetti
- 4 tablespoons pesto
- 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese (Optional)
- 1 pinch red pepper flakes (Optional)
Directions
Step 1
Heat olive oil in a saucepan over medium heat. Saute garlic until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add tempeh, zucchini, red pepper, and carrot. Cook and stir until tender, 5 to 8 minutes. Add milk, sauce mix, and butter. Bring to a boil, stirring constantly. Reduce heat and simmer for 10 minutes.
Step 2
Meanwhile, bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook spaghetti in the boiling water, stirring occasionally, until tender yet firm to the bite, about 12 minutes.
Step 3
Drain spaghetti and add to the sauce. Mix in pesto. Cook until flavors combine, about 5 minutes. Top with Parmesan cheese and red pepper flakes.
Cook’s Note:
Use 1 1/2 cups of whatever fresh or frozen vegetables you have on hand.
