Preparation time: 10 minutes
Cooking time: 20 minutes
Total: 30 minutes
Servings: 4

Your ingredients will be:

- 1 bag of farfalle (approximately 350 g)
- 1 medium onion
- 4-5 cloves of garlic
- 1 carrot
- 6 tablespoons of tomato paste
- 100 g of Inedit soy (textured soy)
- 5 mushrooms (preferably champignon)
- Freshly ground pepper (to taste)
- Salt (to taste)
- Dried thyme (1 teaspoon)
- Dried basil (1 teaspoon)

Step by step, let’s get cooking!

1. Preparing the soy: Start by placing the Inedit soy in a bowl and covering it with hot water. Let it soak for 10-15 minutes. It will become soft and easy to use. After soaking, drain the water well and set aside.

2. Heating the ingredients: In a large skillet, add a few tablespoons of olive oil and heat over medium heat. Chop the onion finely and add it to the skillet. Sauté the onion for 2-3 minutes until it becomes translucent.

3. Adding the garlic and carrot: Peel the garlic and chop it finely or crush it with a knife. Add it to the skillet along with the carrot, which you can cut into cubes or thin strips, and sauté everything for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally.

4. Including the mushrooms: Clean the mushrooms of impurities with a damp cloth and slice them. Add them to the skillet and continue cooking for another 5 minutes, until they become golden and soft.

5. Adding the soy and spices: Now, add the soy to the skillet, along with thyme, basil, salt, and pepper. Mix the ingredients well and let them combine for 2-3 minutes. The aroma will be irresistible!

6. Preparing the sauce: Add the tomato paste to the skillet and mix everything. You can also add a little water to achieve a thinner sauce if you prefer. Let the sauce simmer on low heat for 5 minutes, so the flavors blend perfectly.

7. Boiling the pasta: In a large pot, bring water to a boil. Add salt and the farfalle. Cook them according to the package instructions, usually 8-10 minutes, until al dente.

8. Assembling the farfalle: Once the pasta is ready, drain it well and immediately add it to the skillet with the soy sauce. Gently mix everything so that the pasta is evenly coated with the flavorful sauce.

9. Serving: Serve the farfalle with Inedit soy sauce immediately, sprinkled with a little fresh basil or grated parmesan, if you are not following a strict vegetarian diet.

Practical tips:
- Fresh ingredients: Use fresh, seasonal vegetables to add extra flavor and nutrients to your dish.
- Variations: You can add various vegetables such as zucchini or bell peppers, or you can replace the farfalle with other types of pasta like penne or fusilli.
- The sauce: If you like a spicier sauce, you can add chili flakes or chili sauce.

Nutritional benefits:
This recipe is rich in protein due to the soy, which is an excellent source of plant-based protein. Additionally, the vegetables provide fiber, vitamins, and essential minerals for a balanced diet.

Frequently asked questions:

For a creamier sauce, add a tablespoon of sour cream or Greek yogurt to the soy sauce before adding the pasta.
