Description
A quick, flavorful pasta dish featuring a creamy sauce made from coconut milk, sun-dried tomatoes, and fresh ingredients, perfect for busy weeknights.
Ingredients
Scale
- 8 oz 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
- 3 tbsp nutritional yeast
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 2 cups baby arugula
- ½ cup flat-leaf parsley, chopped
- Optional: Vegan parmesan for topping
Instructions
- Boil water in a large pot and cook the gluten-free fettuccine according to the package instructions until al dente.
- In a heated skillet, add water, broth, or oil. Sauté minced garlic and chopped sun-dried tomatoes for about 2 minutes. Add more liquid if necessary.
- Stir in the Italian seasoning, balsamic vinegar, and tomato paste. Cook for 2-3 minutes until the mixture is nicely caramelized.
- Add cherry tomatoes and water (or broth) to the skillet. Cover and cook for 3-4 minutes until the tomatoes soften. Smash them gently with a spoon to release their juices.
- Stir in the coconut milk and nutritional yeast, seasoning with salt and pepper. Let this simmer for 5-10 minutes until the sauce thickens to your preference.
- Drain the pasta and add it to the sauce in the skillet. Toss to combine, and then fold in the arugula until it wilts slightly.
- Top with fresh parsley and sprinkle with optional vegan parmesan before enjoying.
Notes
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently to restore creaminess.
