How to make it
1
Prepare the vegetables: Set a large pot of salted water on to boil for the pasta. Peel and small dice the carrot. Small dice the radishes and celery. Separate the seitan into pieces with your hands.
2
Cook the pasta: Once the water is boiling, add the fusilli pasta, stir, and cook until al dente, about 8 to 11 minutes. Drain, rinse with cold water, and transfer the pasta to a large bowl.
3
Crisp the seitan: Place a large skillet over medium-high heat with 1 tbsp vegetable oil. Once hot, add the seitan and cook until crispy, about 5 to 7 minutes. Add the Bali BBQ sauce and toss to combine, and cook until it thickens, about 1 to 3 minutes.
4
Prepare the fusilli pasta salad: Add diced carrots, diced radishes, diced celery, and green peas to the bowl with the cooked pasta. Combine with Veganaise, mustard, agave, apple cider vinegar, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Toss the fusilli pasta salad well.
5

Mediterranean Orzo Pasta Salad one of the Meal Kit options in Purple Carrot's rotating weekly lineup.
Pasta is a type of food typically made from an unleavened dough of wheat flour mixed with water or eggs, and formed into sheets or other shapes, then cooked by boiling or baking. Pasta was originally only made with durum, although the definition has been expanded to include alternatives for a gluten-free diet, such as rice flour, or legumes such as beans or lentils. [1]
