Ingredients
Instructions
  1. In a large saucepan, bring salted water to a boil, then add in dried fusilli. Cook according to package instructions.
  2. In the meantime, prep the veggies. Wash brown mushrooms of excess dirt, rinsing the sweet peppers too. Slice mushrooms into thin pieces, peppers into small cubes and your red onion into fine dices.
  3. Slice tempeh into 1 cm thick pieces, then into quarters (or bitesize pieces).
  4. Heat oil on a frying pan, then add red onion, cooking for 2-3 minutes, or until sizzling and fragrant. Then add in mushrooms and peppers, followed by tempeh. Cook for a further 3 minutes, ensuring the tempeh is sizzling too.
  5. Add in soy sauce and tomato paste, a splash of pasta water, then the Italian herbs, garlic powder, coriander, salt and pepper. Stir to combine and ensure ingredients are coated in soy/spice mixture.
  6. Cooking for 2 minutes on a medium heat, slowly pour in the vegan cream, followed by the cream cheese. Stir gently to infuse the cream cheese into the sauce, bring to a gentle boil, then turn off the heat.
  7. Drain cooked pasta in a colander, and transfer back to the saucepan. Scoop in the pasta sauce and combine with the cooked fusilli.
  8. Taste and adjust for salt/pepper, then serve while warm!
