    This pasta is beyond addicting. The combination of ingredients might seem a little weird, but trust me, it all comes together beautifully. I'd call this an Asian bolognese. The seasonings are a mix of Italian and Asian flavors and then everything is topped off with green onion and cilantro!

    How to make Spicy Garlic & Ginger Pasta

    This pasta comes together super quickly, so it is best to have all of your ingredients ready to go. Start off by cooking some garlic, ginger and green onions in sesame oil. Next, add the vegan beef crumbles (or sub them for cooked lentils), tomato paste, soy sauce and red pepper flakes. Adjust the spice to your liking...I obviously was heavy handed with my red pepper flakes!

    Let this all cook down while the pasta is cooking. When the pasta is done add it to the sauce with shredded cabbage and some of the pasta water. Give everything a good toss!

    How to serve Spicy Garlic & Ginger Pasta

    Serve the pasta with a drizzle of sesame oil, more red pepper flakes and plenty of cilantro & green onion. The fresh herbs add so much flavor to the pasta and just bring everything together.

    This pasta is comfort food in a bowl and the perfect date night dinner!

      This was amazing! I doubled the garlic and ginger because I love some bite. Thought this may be an odd tasting recipe but it really works! Hubs was so happy.
