Mix water, tamari/soy sauce, granulated garlic, and ginger powder together in stand mixer with paddle or dough hook attachment.
Add "Beef-Style" Seitan Quick Mix to the seasoned water solution. Mix for about 4 minutes, or until a dough is formed.
Press Seitan mixture into oiled pan, cover, and steam over boiling water for about 30 minutes, until the center reaches 180°F.
Once cooked, immediately remove from heat and place pan in basin of ice water.
Dice 1½ cups of the cooked seitan and set remainder aside for future use (remaining Seitan can be used in salads, soups, or other recipes from the cookbook).
Heat olive oil in a medium saucepan. Sauté onions and mushrooms with salt and nutmeg until the onions are translucent, about 5 to 7 minutes. Stir in flour and nutritional yeast and cook 3 to 5 minutes more. Stir chopped olives into onion mixture and remove from heat.
Meanwhile, combine cashews and 1 cup soymilk in blender and blend to a smooth paste. Add the remaining cup of soymilk and blend for a few seconds until combined. Pour the cashew soymilk mixture over the sautéed onion mixture and stir. Return pan to medium heat and cook, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens.
Cook pasta according to package directions.
Steam broccoli over boiling water for about 5 minutes, until tender but crisp. Add broccoli and kidney beans to the sauce mixture. Stir in 1½ cups of diced Seitan.
Spoon the sauce over pasta and serve hot.
