How to Make Pasta Aglio Olio With Seitan Meatballs

  1. Cook pasta according to package directions until al dente. Reserve 1/2 cup pasta water before draining.
  2. While pasta cooks, heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add minced garlic and red pepper flakes, sauté for 1 minute until fragrant, being careful not to burn the garlic.
  3. Add seitan cubes to the skillet and cook for 5-7 minutes, until lightly browned on all sides.
  4. Stir in vegetable broth, soy sauce, and nutritional yeast. Bring to a simmer and cook for 5 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken slightly.
  5. Add cooked pasta to the skillet and toss to coat. If needed, add a little pasta water to loosen the sauce.
  6. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  7. Stir in fresh parsley and serve immediately.
