EASIEST VEGAN PASTA SAUCE | PLANT BASED BASICS

We love simple easy delicious pasta, and we love that there are so many versions you can have! This is such an easy and wholesome dish. The sauce is rich and you can add any veg you like, we just used basil just to show the simplicity but we'd love to know what you'd add to yours!

All the best,

We didn't add many veg to this just to keep it simple. What veg will you add to make this recipe your own? 😄😄

Just a tip from an Italian: leave the pasta slighly undercooked, about 2 minutes less than the cooking time written on the packaging. This way it will finish cooking in the sauce and the starch from the pasta will make the sauce creamier

I made this sauce the other night and served with fresh linguini. Let me just say it’s now my favourite. Super easy and quick to make. I used a soy milk that has 8g of protein per cup and added 1/4 cup nutritional yeast to the blender. Huge hit for my family and it will be a regular dish from this day forward. Thanks gentleman for making my life a bit simpler.

Gluten isn’t unhealthy... no point in avoiding gluten unless you’ve been diagnosed with celiacs or some kind of gluten intolerance…

For some reason I find I am the owner of a massive can of roasted red peppers. Finally, something I can do with them!

Oh damn I just made this and its easily one of the best pasta dishes I've had. I added mushrooms and eyeballed in some dried basil, flaked almonds and chilli flakes 👌👌

Thank you for the quick and easy recipe! We have 5 children all in sports and activities, my husband works during the day and teaches at night, and I volunteer for a number of local organizations. Even with our hectic schedules I still try to prioritize making healthy food from scratch (we need good fuel to keep us going throughout the day!!). I was feeling uninspired in the kitchen as of late, so finding this incredibly simple yet flavorful recipe was a relief! I substituted roasted garlic for the dried (a staple I keep on hand at all times) and wilted fresh baby spinach into the sauce before adding the pasta. The kiddos loved it, and I loved how the only dishes I created making dinner were the blender and a large pan! I’m new to this channel, but if this is an indicator of the recipes you put out then you have a new fan! Thank you!!

I’m so glad you two are finally making more no oil recipes. Thanks this is going to be tried today. I can almost taste it now ☺️

[traciebarrass]

This has now become one of my winter staples, as being only 3 years in as a vegan, your recipe are something else, and so easy to follow, thank you so much for sharing 💚🌱

[marisa]

I added drained sundried tomatoes to the sauce plus one can of drained lentils at the end for protein and iron. This sauce is soooo creamy and delicious 😋 Thank you to the Happy Pear for this recipe 💙💙

[savannahbanana]

This sauce was so good! I used soy milk instead of oat and added a handful of sun dried tomatoes (no oil) to the blender. I used mushrooms and zucchini for my veggies in the pasta.

[deborahnagelin]

I made this & now it's my favorite pasta sauce. I did tweak the recipe a bit by adding some nooch. Absolutely delicious!

[colinmurphy]

Authentic marinara is already vegan. It has 4 ingredients: olive oil, garlic, basil, and tomatoes.

[metanym]

This is a fantastic recipe! I added roasted garlic and sun dried tomatoes to the sauce, as I only had one red pepper in the fridge to roast. Thanks for the inspiration!

[carrieclayful]

This is popular because it’s creamy and delicious and everyone loves pasta! Never thought of cashew nuts and roasted peppers. You guys make cooking fun! You’re bangin! 💥

[joannabyrne]
