Ingredients
-
400g of Spaghetti (or your choice pasta)
-
½ cup sliced sun dried tomatoes (the dry kind, not in oil kind)
-
¼ teaspoon liquid smoke
-
1 tablespoon olive oil
-
1 yellow onion
-
3 cloves garlic, crushed
-
¼ cup of flour (can make this gluten free if necessary)
-
1 tablespoon of nutritional yeast
-
¾ teaspoon of black himalayan salt (Kala Namak), or sub with regular salt
-
⅓ teaspoon black pepper
-
2 ½ cups of preferred plant based milk
-
1 tablespoon of soy sauce
Directions
Bring a large pot of water to a boil and cook the pasta according to package instructions.
Mix together the sun-dried tomatoes, soy sauce, and liquid smoke in a bowl set aside to marinate.
Heat the olive oil in a large pan over medium-high heat.
When hot add the onions and sauté until the onions turn translucent
Add the garlic
Cook until onions begin to brown (about 5 minutes).
Sprinkle over the flour and stir to coat the onions, let cook for about a minute.
Mix in all remaining ingredients.
Cook the sauce for about 5 minutes until thickened, whisking as needed.
Finally, add the cooked & drained pasta and the marinated sun-dried tomatoes to the sauce. Toss well to combine. Serve hot and enjoy!
Recipe Note
*If the sauce gets too thick, add a splash of plant-based milk.
*If the sauce is too thin, simply cook it a little longer.
