Ingredients
-
2 hot Italian Beyond Sausage links, cubed
-
8 oz bowtie pasta
-
1 large yellow onion, diced
-
1/2 cup sun-dried tomato strips
-
1 cup Certified Vegan Roots Farm Fresh Sweet Potato Croutons
-
1 tablespoon Miyoko’s butter
-
Black pepper and pink sea salt, to taste
Instructions
-
Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add pasta and cook according to package directions.
-
While the pasta cooks, heat a large pan over medium heat. Add cubed Beyond Sausage and cook until browned and slightly crispy.
-
Add diced onion and sweet potato croutons to the pan. Cover and simmer until onions are soft and the sweet potatoes begin to tenderize.
-
Add sun-dried tomatoes and continue to cook until everything is lightly caramelized.
-
Drain the pasta and add it directly to the pan. Add Miyoko’s butter and toss gently until everything is well combined.
-
Season with black pepper and pink sea salt to taste. Serve warm.
Notes
Let the sausage brown well before adding other ingredients for maximum flavor.
Covering the pan helps soften the onions and sweet potatoes evenly.
If the pasta feels dry, add a small splash of olive oil before serving.
Serve with a simple salad and bread to stretch the recipe further.
