Equipment

  • Large frying pan with a lid
  • Wooden spoon or spatula
  • Knife and cutting board
  • Measuring cups and spoons

Ingredients
  

  • For the Pasta:
  • 1 pack Quorn fillet pieces
  • 150 g dried pasta
  • 40 g sundried tomatoes chopped
  • 1 tablespoon tomato puree
  • 1 sliced red pepper
  • 1 sliced shallot
  • 500 ml stock vegetable or chicken
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon chili flakes
  • 1 teaspoon garlic granules
  • 2 crushed garlic cloves
  • A handful of spinach
  • Toppings:
  • Fresh chopped parsley for garnish
  • 100 g burrata cheese

Instructions
 

  • I start by heating a large frying pan over medium heat. I add a bit of spray oil and toss in the sliced shallot and red pepper, cooking them with the tomato puree until they become soft and fragrant. This usually takes about 3-4 minutes.
  • Next, I add the Quorn fillet pieces to the pan along with the crushed garlic and sundried tomatoes. I sprinkle in the paprika, chili flakes, and garlic granules for extra flavor. I give everything a good mix and let it cook for another couple of minutes.
  • Then, I pour in the stock and add the uncooked pasta. I cover the pan and let it simmer, stirring occasionally, until the pasta is cooked and has absorbed most of the liquid. This usually takes about 10-12 minutes.
  • Once the pasta is done, I stir in the handful of spinach until it wilts down. Then, I place the burrata cheese on top and cover the pan with a lid for a few minutes to let the cheese melt beautifully.
  • Finally, I serve the pasta in bowls, garnished with fresh chopped parsley for a burst of color and flavor!

Notes

When cooking the pasta, make sure to stir occasionally to prevent it from sticking to the bottom of the pan. Also, be careful when adding the stock to avoid splattering. Ensure the burrata is properly warmed through before serving for the best taste!
