DIRECTIONS

• S A U C E - Begin heating the EVOO, garlic, and pepper flakes, in a large, oven safe skillet set to just below medium heat. Once heated, stir and let sizzle for 30 seconds or so before adding the onion, celery carrot, and a good pinch of both salt and pepper. Stir and cook 5ish minutes. Make a well and drop in the basil, letting that go for 30 seconds or so before stirring everything together and continuing for another couple minutes. Pour in the wine and let that simmer until mostly reduced. Pour in the tomatoes, chik'n broth, & red peppers with the liquid, and bring this to a boil. Once boiled, reduce to medium low, add the 1/2 tsp. salt and cheese rind, cover, and simmer for 25 minutes. Remove the hard cheese rind. Blend the sauce until smooth, taste, and season with salt if needed (to taste). Return about 2/3 of the sauce to the skillet, reserving the remaining for spooning on top / a future meal. Keep the sauce on low, covered, until it's time to assemble.​

• Bring a large pot of cold, heavily salted water to a boil. Once boiled, add your noodles to the water once you've blended your sauce. Cook to al dente. In the meantime, preheat your oven and cook your plant-based chik'n patties until golden and crisp on both sides.
• Once the pasta is cooked, strain it directly to the skillet with the sauce and continue to stir and toss to coat the noodles in the sauce and release some starches in to the skillet. Once the noodles are perfectly cooked and sauced to perfection, remove the skillet from the heat and place it on a wire cooling rack.​

• Preheat your oven to BROIL 500 F / HIGH
• Place the plant-based patties on the bucatini skillet and top each one with a slice of pizza mozz. Drop a little nest of grana on top of each one and use the rest to sprinkle around the skillet.
• Broil until cheese is bubbly and melted. Remove and place back on your wire cooling rack. Garnish with fresh herbs.
• Serve each portion with a plant-based patty, some gorgeous, saucy bucatini, fresh basil & parsley, and a generous amount of finely shredded grana padano. ENJOY!
