WHAT YOU NEED

• 340g Impossible Foods Beef
• 3 C Dry Tortiglioni Pasta
• 2 Yellow Onions, diced
• 2 stalks Celery, diced
• 1 Bell Pepper, diced
• 4 cloves Garlic, crushed & minced
• 227g Cremini Mushrooms, quartered

• 2 1/2 C Pizza Mozzarella, shredded
• 1/4 C Grana Padano, shredded
• 1 Hard Cheese Rind (optional)
• Handful Fresh Basil, torn
• 3 Tbsp. Fresh Parsley, chopped
• 1 Tsp. Dried Oregano
• 1 Tsp. Italian Seasoning
• 3/4 Tsp. Red Pepper Flakes
• 1/2 Tsp. + Sea Salt

DIRECTIONS

• Begin heating the EVOO & garlic in a large, deep skillet set to about medium. Once heated, let the garlic sizzle for about 30 seconds. Drop in the torn basil and let that go another 30 seconds or so before adding the onion, celery, and bell pepper. Season with sea salt, stir, and cook 5 - 6 minutes. Add the cremini mushrooms and season liberally with salt. Stir and cook until mushrooms have cooked down, about another 4 - 5 minutes. 
• Transfer the veg to a mixing bowl and return the skillet to the heat. Add the Impossible beef and cook until brown, breaking it down in to smaller crumbles as it cooks. Return the cooked veg to the skillet and stir until warmed through. Make a well in the center of the skillet and add the tomato paste. Once it sizzle for 30 seconds or so, stir it in to the veggies and continue to cook another 2 minutes. Pour in the wine and let it simmer until mostly reduced.
• Add the whole tomatoes and break them down using your stirring utensil. Add the passata & water, and bring the sauce to a boil. Once boiled, reduce to medium low. Stir in the tortiglioni, Italian Seasoning, dried Oregano, optional hard cheese rind, and 1/2 Tsp. salt. Cover and simmer 25 - 35 until tortiglioni is tender and cooked.
• Remove from heat and stir in the mozzarella, grana padano, and fresh parsley. Taste and adjust salt if desired.
• Serve garnished with additional grana padano, & fresh basil / parsley. ENJOY!
