Before you start

Food processor | Steamer basket | Saucepan | Microplane | Kettle

First, steam the tempeh

  • Fill a pan with boiling water from the kettle, put the steamer basket on top of the pan, put the tempeh in the basket and steam for 7-8 minutes
  • Take the tempeh out of the basket and set to one side

Now, prepare the vegetables

  • Peel and halve the onion
  • Trim and roughly chop the celery
  • Trim, peel and halve the carrots
  • Peel and grate the garlic
  • Trim, halve, core and dice the pepper
  • Put the onion, celery and carrot in the food processor and pulse until well diced

Now, prepare the sauce

  • Warm the olive oil in a pan over a medium heat
  • Add the diced vegetables and a pinch of salt to the pan and stir for 5-6 minutes
  • Add the garlic and stir for 30 seconds. Add the diced red pepper to the pan and stir for 1 minute
  • Crumble the tempeh into the pan and stir for 3-4 minutes
  • Add the red wine, balsamic vinegar, plant-based Worcestershire sauce, tomato puree and oregano, turn up the heat and stir for 3-4 minutes until most of the liquid has evaporated
  • Add the vegetable stock, chopped tomatoes and bay leaf to the pan, stir to combine, turn the heat down and leave to simmer for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally so it doesn't catch
  • Taste and season to perfection once the simmer time has finished

As the sauce is simmering, prepare the pasta

  • Cook the pasta as directed on the pack (save some of the pasta water)

Almost time to eat!

  • Grate the dairy free cheese and pick the basil leaves (if using)
  • Drain the pasta and quickly pour it into the sauce pot
  • Fold the pasta into the sauce making sure it's well covered
  • Split the pasta between four bowls, garnish with basil, nutritional yeast, dairy free cheese and serve immediately with side salad
