Add the faux chicken, sauté until brown, move to a plate lined with paper towels, and set aside. In the same skillet, heat the remaining 1 Tbsp. of olive oil over medium heat. Add the garlic, green pepper, and onion and sauté for 2 minutes. Add the mushrooms and continue cooking until the vegetables are soft.

Remove the lid, add the faux chicken, and continue cooking for 10 to 15 minutes or until the liquid is reduced and the sauce is slightly thickened. Meanwhile, cook the noodles according to the directions on the package. Drain. Serve the cacciatore over the hot noodles.
