PASTA "CARBONARA" WITH BROCCOLI
Steps:
- Cook the pasta in plenty of rapidly simmering water until al dente, then drain.
- Meanwhile, heat 1 tablespoon of the oil in a wide skillet. Sauté the "bacon" pieces over medium heat until crisp and browned on both sides, then remove and chop into small squares.
- In the same skillet, heat the remaining tablespoon of oil. Add the garlic and sauté over low heat until golden.
- Add the broccoli and wine to the skillet. Cover and steam until the broccoli is bright green and tender-crisp, about 3 minutes. Remove from the heat.
- In a serving bowl, combine the pasta, tempeh bacon, broccoli-garlic mixture (with any remaining wine), and parsley. Toss well. Add enough creamer to give the dish a bit more moisture. Season with salt and pepper, then serve.
- Menu Suggestions
- Serve with a salad of dark green lettuce or baby spinach with chickpeas, cherry tomatoes, and red or yellow bell peppers.
- The first two suggestions for mixed baby greens under Recipe Not Required (page 192) go splendidly with this dish. Make Garlic and Lemon Beans (page 110) to boost the protein content of the meal.
