Vegan Creamy Sun Dried Tomato Pasta

A delightful vegan pasta dish with sun-dried tomatoes and creamy coconut milk, perfect for a satisfying meal.

  • Total Time: 35 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 servings gluten-free fettuccine
  • 4 garlic cloves, minced
  • 10 sun-dried tomatoes, chopped
  • 1 tbsp Italian seasoning
  • 1 tbsp balsamic vinegar
  • 3 tbsp tomato paste
  • 2 cups cherry tomatoes
  • 1 cup water or vegetable broth
  • 7 oz full-fat canned coconut milk (thick cream only; half of a can)
  • 3 tbsp nutritional yeast
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 cups baby arugula
  • ½ cup flat-leaf parsley, chopped
  • Vegan Parmesan (optional)

Instructions

  1. Boil water in a pot and cook the gluten-free fettuccine according to package instructions until al dente.
  2. In a heated skillet, add water, broth, or oil. Sauté garlic and sun-dried tomatoes for 2 minutes, adding water as needed to prevent sticking.
  3. Mix in Italian seasoning, balsamic vinegar, and tomato paste. Cook for 2-3 minutes until caramelized.
  4. Add cherry tomatoes and water to the skillet. Cover and cook for 3-4 minutes until the tomatoes are soft. Smash them gently with a spoon.
  5. Add coconut milk and nutritional yeast, seasoning with salt and pepper to taste. Simmer for 5-10 minutes until the sauce thickens.
  6. Drain the pasta and add it to the skillet. Toss with the arugula until well combined.
  7. Top with parsley and optional vegan Parmesan before serving.

Notes

Serve hot as a main dish or with a side salad for a full meal. Store leftovers for up to 3 days in an airtight container.
