Pasta with soy meat and mushrooms (in a multicooker)
In Russia, people have already gotten used to calling all quality pasta products that retain their shape and do not turn into a floury mush "pasta." Sauces for pasta are prepared in the Italian way, combining fresh and stewed vegetables. However, the Russian habit of mixing meat and vegetable pasta remains unshakeable, as the main lunch dish should be very hearty. An original move is the use of soy meat. Considering that many people strive to observe Christian fasts, soy meat has good prospects of becoming a favorite and in-demand product.

Ingredients
Show ingredients
- hard wheat vermicelli - 200 g;
- soy meat - 150 g;
- champignons - 100 g, onion - 2 pcs;
- tomato paste - 2 tbsp;
- small tomatoes - 2-3 pcs;
- olive oil - 50 ml;
- salt - 1.5 tsp;
- dill.
Preparation
- Spider pasta is not suitable for this dish; you need something denser made from hard wheat. You can use noodles or vermicelli.
- Put dry soy meat into the multicooker.
- Pour boiling water over the soy meat. The amount of water does not matter, for example, you can take 1-1.5 liters. Do not salt the meat. Close the multicooker, set the "soup" mode for 15 minutes.
- While the soy meat is boiling, peel the onion, wash the champignons and the vegetables.
- Chop the onion into small cubes and slice the champignons lengthwise.
- Take out the pieces of soy meat and place them in a deep bowl. Pour out the water from the bowl of the multicooker. Squeeze the meat, return it to the multicooker, and drizzle with olive oil. The soy meat should be squeezed very well to remove all moisture. It is best to use a potato masher.
- Sprinkle the onion and champignons on top of the meat. Mix everything, set the "fry" mode for 20 minutes. The lid should be open. Occasionally stir the meat and mushrooms.
- Put all the contents of the multicooker into a bowl.
- Place the vermicelli and salt into the multicooker.
- Pour boiling water. There should be enough water to cover the bottom of the multicooker by 3 centimeters.
- Do not break the vermicelli. Once in hot water, the vermicelli "folds" and is compactly arranged in the multicooker. Set the "soup" mode, close the lid. Set the time indicated on the vermicelli package and add another 5 minutes.
- The vermicelli has absorbed almost all the water and has reached "al dente" softness.
- Return the fried soy meat to the multicooker.
- Add the tomato paste. If you add two more fresh tomatoes, the dish will be very tasty. The combination of tomato paste and fresh vegetables creates an original flavor. The tomatoes should be grated.
- Stir the contents of the multicooker, set the "fry" mode for 3-5 minutes. The lid is open.
- Turn off the multicooker, sprinkle the vermicelli with fresh dill.
- The pasta with soy meat is served hot. Although plant-based meat is used, the dish will be magnificent.
