Ingredients

Pasta and Vegetables

  • 200 g pappardelle pasta (4 dry nests, or similar)
  • 2 cups cherry tomatoes (cut in half)
  • ½ red onion (diced)
  • 2 cloves garlic (minced)
  • 1 handful spinach (heaping, chopped or baby spinach)

Liquids and Sauces

  • 2 cups vegetable broth
  • 4 tbsp tomato paste (heaping)
  • 1 cup plant-based cream (soy, coconut, cashew, or sunflower)

Garnish

  • fresh parsley (chopped)
  • vegan parmesan (grated)

Instructions

  1. Add Ingredients: In a large deep skillet, combine the pappardelle pasta, halved cherry tomatoes, diced red onion, minced garlic, chopped spinach, vegetable broth, tomato paste, and plant-based cream.
  2. Initial Simmer: Set the heat to medium and cover the skillet. Let it cook for 4 to 5 minutes until the pasta just begins to soften.
  3. Stir and Continue Cooking: Uncover the skillet and stir everything together to combine well. Cover again and cook for an additional 5 to 7 minutes, stirring halfway through, until the pasta is cooked al dente with a creamy sauce forming.
  4. Serve: Remove from heat and serve the pasta topped with freshly chopped parsley and grated vegan parmesan to taste.

Notes

  • Use any type of plant-based cream you prefer, such as soy, coconut, cashew, or sunflower cream.
  • Adjust the amount of vegetable broth slightly if the pasta absorbs too much or the sauce is too thick.
  • For added protein, consider adding cooked chickpeas or tofu cubes.
  • This recipe works well with other types of pasta like fettuccine or linguine.
  • Ensure to stir halfway through cooking to prevent sticking and promote even cooking.
