Ingredients:
5 garlic cloves
1 red bell pepper
1 yellow bell pepper
1 jalapeño pepper
4 oz grape tomatoes
8 oz Banza pasta
13.75 oz artichoke hearts
1 tbsp vegan parmesan
2 Field Roast sausages
1 cup of broccoli sprouts
1. Bring a large pot of water to a boil for the pasta. Peel the garlic. Trim and deseed the red and yellow bell pepper, and chop into large pieces. Trim, deseed, and roughly chop the jalapeño.
2. Position oven rack in the middle of the oven. Set oven to broil on high. Place peeled garlic, chopped red and yellow bell peppers, as much chopped jalapeño as you’d like, and grape tomatoes on a baking sheet. Add 2 tsp vegetable oil, ½ tsp salt, and ¼ tsp pepper, and toss to coat. Broil until peppers are charred, 8 – 10 minutes.
3. Once the water is boiling, add pasta and stir. Cook until al dente, 6 – 8 minutes. Reserve ½ cup pasta water and drain the pasta. Rinse pasta with cool water to stop the cooking process.
4. Add charred peppers and tomatoes and ½ tsp salt to a food processor and pulse until the charred pepper ragout is evenly chopped, 3 – 5 pulses.
5. Drain artichoke hearts and pat dry. Place on the baking sheet, add 1 tbsp vegetable oil and a pinch of salt and pepper, and toss to coat. Broil until crispy, 6 to 8 minutes.
6. Return the large pot to medium heat and add the charred pepper ragout. Add cooked pasta, reserved pasta water, and just 2 tsp parmesan. Cook until heated through, 3 – 4 minutes. Divide rotini pasta with charred pepper ragout between large bowls. Top with crispy artichoke hearts and remaining parmesan and broccoli sprouts.
