Preparation
Step 1
To do:
* Boil water in a saucepan. Place tempeh block in the boiling water for 10-15 mins. Remove & pat dry with paper towels. Cut into small cubes.
* Boil fresh water again and make pasta as usual.
* In the meantime, combine salsa, water, peanut butter & red pepper flakes in a blender. Blend & set aside.
* In a large frying pan, heat peanut oil. Add tempeh & peppers. Saute for ~5-7 mins, until they start to get soft.
* Add green onion & garlic. Saute for ~1 min.
* Reduce heat and add spinach. Stir frequently until it's all wilted.
* Add cooked and drained pasta to the frying pan and then top everything with the peanut butter-salsa mixture. Simmer for a few mins until sauce is warmed. Season with salt & pepper.
* Serve with chopped peanuts sprinkled on top
