Cajun Chicken & Mushroom Cavatappi

with Creamy Tomato Sauce, Green Pepper & Scallions

Get ready for a rich, luscious vegan pasta dinner! Coconut milk may sound like an odd addition to your go-to red sauce, but trust us, it’s what gives our vegan veggie-packed pasta its next-level creaminess. You’ll start by sautéing mushrooms and green pepper, adding scallion and garlic, then creating a creamy spiced roux right in the pan for maximum Cajun flavor. Diced tomatoes and coconut milk bring it all together for a sauce so delicious that cavatappi pasta can’t resist hopping right in. If you’re feeling the bayou in you, finish with hot sauce and let the good times roll!

Prep
1

• Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Wash and dry produce. • Trim and thinly slice mushrooms (skip if your mushrooms are pre-sliced!). Core and thinly slice green pepper into strips. Peel and mince or grate garlic. Trim and thinly slice scallions, separating whites from greens.

Cook Pasta

• Once water is boiling, add cavatappi to pot. Cook, stirring occasionally, until al dente, 9-11 minutes. • Reserve ¾ cup pasta cooking water (1 cup for 4 servings), then drain.

Rinse shrimp under cold water. Pat shrimp or chicken dry with paper towels. Heat a drizzle of oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add shrimp or chicken and season with salt and pepper; cook, stirring occasionally, until cooked through, 4-6 minutes. Turn off heat; transfer to a plate. Wipe out pan.

• Heat a large drizzle of oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add mushrooms and green pepper; cook, stirring occasionally, until browned and tender, 5-7 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. • Stir in garlic, scallion whites, flour, Blackening Spice, and another large drizzle of oil; cook, stirring, until fragrant, 1-2 minutes.

Use pan used for shrimp or chicken here.

• Add crushed tomatoes to same pan and cook, stirring, until jammy, 2-3 minutes. Stir in coconut milk (shaking first), stock concentrates, ½ tsp sugar, and ¼ cup reserved pasta cooking water (1 tsp sugar and 1⁄3 cup pasta cooking water for 4 servings). • Bring to a simmer; cook, stirring, until thickened, 2-3 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
