Ingredients

1 tablespoon olive oil
1 yellow onion (diced)
2 clove garlic (minced)
12 ounce Impossible ground meat
1 zucchini (halved and sliced)
14.5 ounce crushed tomatoes
2 cup vegetable broth
1 teaspoon dried oregano
0.5 teaspoon salt
0.25 teaspoon black pepper (ground)
8 ounce small pasta (like elbow macaroni or small shells)
5 ounce fresh spinach
0.25 cup shredded Parmesan cheese

Instructions

Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add 1 each diced yellow onion and cook until softened, about 3-4 minutes.
Stir in 2 cloves minced garlic and 12 ounces Impossible ground meat. Cook, breaking up the meat with a spoon, until browned, about 5-7 minutes.
Add 1 each sliced zucchini, 1 can crushed tomatoes, 2 cups vegetable broth, 1 teaspoon dried oregano, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper. Bring to a simmer.
Stir in 8 ounces small pasta. Cover and cook according to pasta package directions (typically 8-10 minutes), stirring occasionally to prevent sticking, until pasta is al dente and most liquid is absorbed.
Remove from heat and stir in 5 ounces fresh spinach until wilted. Serve immediately, topped with 1/4 cup shredded Parmesan cheese if desired.

Notes

The cooked Impossible meat sauce can be portioned and frozen for future quick meals. Reheat gently on the stovetop or in the microwave.
