I told you it was going to be easy. You can serve this up with whatever toppings you want – avocado, cilantro, hot sauce, lime wedges. Basically anything you would put on regular tacos you can put on this pasta.

TSV TIP: I prefer Trader Joe’s or Kite Hill vegan cream cheese.

Ingredients

  • 8 oz pasta, dried I used medium shells
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1/2 red onion chopped
  • 1 green bell pepper chopped
  • 1 red bell pepper chopped
  • 1 jalapeño diced
  • 1 packet taco seasoning
  • 6 oz soyrizo
  • 1/2 cup chunky salsa
  • 1 cup water
  • 1 tsp Better Than Bouillon No Beef Base*
  • 4 oz vegan cream cheese
  • cilantro, lime wedges, avocado, hot sauce for topping, optional

Instructions
 

  • Bring a pot of water to a boil. Add pasta and cook according to the package instructions. Drain and set aside.
  • While the pasta is cooking, heat the olive oil in a pan over medium heat. Add red onion, bell peppers, jalapeño and taco seasoning to the pan and sauté until veggies have softened (approx. 6-8 minutes).
  • Push the veggies to one side of the pan and add the soyrizo. Crumble with a wooden spoon and cook for an additional 3 minutes. Combine the veggies and soyrizo.
  • Add salsa, water, bouillon and cream cheese to the pan and stir to combine.
  • Add cooked pasta to the pan and toss until coated evenly.
  • If baking, transfer to a baking dish and place in the oven under broil for 2-3 minutes – just to get a couple crunchy bits on top.**
  • Serve with optional toppings.
