Sun-Dried Tomato Pasta Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 onion: Diced thinly
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 2 vegan Italian sausages: I normally use the Tofurky Italian Sausage since it’s the one I can find at most grocery stores.
- 5 garlic cloves: Minced. Add as much garlic as your heart desires.
- 1/3 cup sun-dried tomatoes in oil
- 1 can of full-fat coconut milk: A 13.5 oz can or about 1 2/3 cups. You can use low-fat coconut milk, but I highly recommend using a full-fat one to make the sauce creamier. I do not mean coconut cream when I say full fat, coconut cream is very thick and not for this recipe.
- 1/2 cup marinara sauce
- 2 cups vegan chicken stock: The best vegan stock seasoning is the Orrington Farms All Natural Vegan Broth Base & Seasoning.
- 3 cups uncooked pasta: Penne or rotini work best with this recipe. Make this a high-protein recipe by using protein pasta. I love this one: Barilla Protein+ Penne Pasta.
- 1/2 cup nutritional yeast
- 1/4 teaspoon salt: Plus more to taste.
- 1/4 teaspoon pepper: Plus more to taste.
- 3 cups kale: Spinach works too. Shredded or finely chop it.
- 1/4 cup vegan parmesan cheese: The best vegan parmesan cheese is the Violife Parmesan.
How to make this Vegan One Pot Pasta
Heat oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add in a diced onion and saute for 3 minutes until it’s translucent and fragrant.
Then add a teaspoon of Italian seasoning, chopped vegan Italian sausages, and the minced garlic cloves. Saute the sausages for 3 to 5 minutes until they’ve slightly browned.
Mix in sun-dried tomatoes, vegan chicken stock, coconut milk, marinara sauce, and nutritional yeast.
Add 3 cups of pasta and make sure to submerge the noodles under the liquid. Bring the pot to a boil, then let it simmer for 10 minutes.
Turn the heat off once the pasta is al dente and most of the liquid has turned into a sauce. Add fresh spinach and grated vegan parmesan.
Taste and add additional salt and pepper to your preference. Serve with additional parmesan cheese on top and enjoy!
Store leftovers in the fridge in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
