Gluten Free & Vegan Pink Sauce Pasta

Gluten Free & Vegan Pink Sauce Pasta

Total Time 15 minutes
Course: Dinner, Lunch, Main Course

Ingredients
  

  • 1 12 oz gluten free penne (I use Jovial Foods, brown rice or cassava)
  • 1 tbsp ghee, vegan butter, olive oil or avocado oil
  • 2 medium cloves garlic, minced
  • ½ yellow onion, diced
  • 1 6 oz can tomato paste
  • ½ cup veggie broth, chicken broth, bone broth or pasta water
  • 1 tsp dried oregano
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ½ tsp dried basil
  • 1 cup full fat coconut milk (can sub cream)
  • ¼ cup (dairy free) ricotta OR nutritional yeast (I use Kite Hill ricotta or Bob's Red Mill nutritional yeast)
  • red pepper flakes, to top (optional)
  • fresh basil (optional)

Method
 

  1. Cook pasta according to box instructions. Set aside. (PS - for best results with gluten free pasta, don't rinse it after draining! Instead, drizzle and toss with olive oil)
  2. Over medium/low heat, melt butter or heat oil for a minute or so, then add in garlic and onion. Sauté for a few minutes until fragrant.
  3. Add the tomato paste, broth OR pasta water, spices, coconut milk and ricotta OR nutritional yeast. Stir until combined and allow to simmer, but not boil, for a few minutes. If you would like the sauce thinner, add more coconut milk.
  4. Add the pasta to the skillet and fold to combine with the sauce.
  5. Serve with optional red pepper flakes and fresh basil!
