Preparation

Before starting, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil over high.
Wash and dry all produce.
To the boiling water, add rigatoni. Cook for 12-13 min, stirring occasionally, until tender but still firm to the bite.
Reserve 1/4 cup (1/2 cup) pasta water.
Strain rigatoni, then return to the pot, off heat.

Meanwhile, halve zucchini lengthwise, then cut into 1/2-inch half-moons.
Heat a large non-stick pan over medium-high.
When hot, add 1/2 tbsp (1 tbsp) oil, then zucchini.
Cook for 4-5 min, stirring occasionally, until tender-crisp.
Season with salt and pepper.
Transfer zucchini to a plate, then cover to keep warm.

To the same pan, add 1/2 tbsp (1 tbsp) oil, then Beyond Meat® patties and Italian Herb Spice Blend.
Cook for 5-6 min, breaking up patties into smaller pieces, until crispy.**
Season with 1/4 tsp (1/2 tsp) salt and pepper.
Meanwhile, roughly chop parsley.

To the pan with Beyond Meat®, add half the tomato sauce base (use all for 4 servings). Cook for 1-2 min, stirring occasionally, until well combined.
Add crushed tomatoes, 1/4 tsp (1/2 tsp) sugar, reserved pasta water and cream. Cook for 3-4 min, stirring occasionally, until sauce thickens slightly.
Season with salt and pepper.

To the pot with rigatoni, add Beyond Meat® sauce mixture, 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) butter, zucchini and half the Parmesan. Toss to combine.
Season with salt and pepper.
