Cook

Step 1. Heat Olive Oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add Onion and Carrot and cook, stirring, until softened, about 5 minutes.
Step 2. Add Mushroom and Tempeh. Cook over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms release their liquid and the tempeh browns in spots, about 8 minutes.
Step 3. Stir in Garlic, Tomato Paste and Oregano. Cook until fragrant and the paste darkens slightly, about 1 minute.
Step 4. Add Canned Tomatoes, Water, some of the Salt and Black Pepper. Bring to a simmer, then reduce the heat and cook, stirring occasionally, until thickened, about 15 minutes.
Step 5. Meanwhile, bring a large pot of water to a boil and add the rest of the Salt. Cook Tagliatelle until just tender, about 8 to 10 minutes, or according to the package; reserve a little cooking water and drain.

Finish & serve

Step 6. Toss the drained pasta with the sauce, adding reserved cooking water as needed to loosen it. Taste for seasoning and divide among bowls.

Tips

Swap it

Use a gluten-free pasta and check that the tempeh is gluten-free if needed.

Leftovers

Refrigerate leftovers for up to 3 days and reheat with a splash of water.

Good to know

Let the tempeh and mushrooms sit briefly between stirs so they have time to brown.
