Time 1h9m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 20

1 (16 ounce) box rigatoni pasta
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 red onion, chopped
3 cloves fresh garlic, minced
1 garlic scape, minced
3 large heirloom tomatoes, stemmed
1 sweet pepper, chopped
1 cup chopped broccoli
3 baby bella mushrooms, chopped, or more to taste
1 (6 ounce) can tomato paste
1 teaspoon white sugar
8 fresh basil leaves
2 teaspoons Italian seasoning
½ teaspoon red pepper flakes
1 dash ground cinnamon
salt to taste
1 (8 ounce) package soy chicken strips (such as Morningstar Farms®)
1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
¾ cup shredded mozzarella cheese
¼ cup crumbled feta cheese

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook rigatoni in the boiling water, stirring occasionally until tender yet firm to the bite, about 12 minutes. Drain.
  • Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Add red onion, garlic, and garlic scape; cook, stirring occasionally, until fragrant, about 2 minutes. Squeeze tomatoes into the pot. Add sweet pepper, broccoli, and baby bella mushrooms. Simmer until flavors combine, about 5 minutes.
  • Stir tomato paste, white sugar, basil, Italian seasoning, red pepper flakes, cinnamon, and salt into the pot. Reduce heat to medium-low; cook until broccoli is tender. Add chicken strips; simmer sauce for 20 minutes.

Tips:

  • Use ripe, flavorful tomatoes. This will give your pasta sauce the best flavor. If you can't find ripe tomatoes, you can use canned tomatoes instead.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan. When you're cooking the pasta, don't overcrowd the pan. This will prevent the pasta from cooking evenly.
  • Cook the pasta al dente. This means that the pasta should be cooked through but still have a slight bite to it.
  • Use a good quality cheese. The cheese is one of the most important ingredients in this dish, so use a good quality cheese that you enjoy the taste of.
  • Season the pasta to taste. Once the pasta is cooked, season it with salt, pepper, and any other herbs or spices that you like.

Conclusion:

Cheesy tomato pasta is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. With just a few simple ingredients, you can create a pasta dish that is sure to please everyone at the table. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy meal, give cheesy tomato pasta a try.
