Instructions
- 1
Cook pasta according to package directions until al dente. Reserve 1/2 cup of pasta water before draining.
- 2
While pasta cooks, heat olive oil in a large skillet or pot over medium heat. Add diced onion and sauté until softened, about 3-4 minutes.
- 3
Stir in minced garlic and chopped sun-dried tomatoes. Cook for another 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
- 4
Pour in vegetable broth, plant-based milk, nutritional yeast, lemon juice, oregano, and red pepper flakes (if using). Bring to a gentle simmer, stirring occasionally.
- 5
Add the drained pasta to the sauce. Toss to coat thoroughly. If the sauce is too thick, add a splash of the reserved pasta water until it reaches your desired consistency.
- 6
Season with salt and black pepper to taste. Serve immediately, garnished with fresh basil or parsley.
Pro Tips
This recipe is quick to prep, so have all your ingredients measured and ready before you start cooking for the smoothest workflow.
Use high-quality olive oil and fresh herbs for the most authentic flavor. Dried herbs work in a pinch but fresh makes a noticeable difference.
Taste as you go and adjust seasoning before serving. Plant-based dishes often benefit from a squeeze of lemon or a pinch of salt at the end.
