Ingredients
Directions
- Heat a tablespoon of vegetable oil in a pan until oil is shimmering. Add oat protein and cook until slightly browned. Add Italian seasoning and cook for 1 minute longer, stirring constantly. Set aside.
- Sauté the mushrooms in the rest of the vegetable oil until they are well browned. Remove from the heat and fine chop them with a knife or a food processor.
- Place marinara sauce and mushroom purée in a small pot or pan, bring to a simmer, and add water to adjust consistency.
- Bring a pot of water to boil, salt to taste. Cook the pasta from frozen for 3 to 4 minutes.
- While the pasta is cooking, add the oat protein to the marinara sauce. Bring back to a simmer, and correct seasoning with salt and pepper.
- Drain the cooked pasta, place in a bowl and toss with half of the sauce and half of the mozzarella style shreds. Transfer to a serving plate. Top with more sauce, mozzarella style shreds, and micro basil. Serve immediately.
- Chef's note: Keep the oat protein and the sauce separate until ready to use. Once mixed, the oats will start absorbing the liquid from the sauce and eventually fall apart.
