Step 1
Make the Happy Pancetta. Mix the maple syrup, tomato paste, and soy sauce in a small bowl. Heat a drizzle of sesame oil in a non-stick pan (use the same one you’ll later use for the broccoli). Add the cubed tempeh and cook until golden on all sides. Reduce heat, pour over the glaze, and toss to coat. Cook for 1–2 more minutes. Transfer to a plate and set aside.

Delish and quick to make. I didn't have mezze maniche, so used cavatappi instead which worked as well! My mum used to make something similar but used fried onion to give it a bit more flavour (minus the happy/sad bacon) - i really liked this version (kid approved as well!)

My husband calls cavatappi "swirly whirlies" and he loves it! Great choice and lovely to hear it is kid approved too! 😍

Next time I plan to make the tempeh bites a bit smaller so I can have more 😍 but really fun flavors and a really easy din
