Ingredients
- 1 lb. pasta cooked (reserve 1/4 cup pasta water)
- 16 oz. jar roasted red bell peppers or homemade (directions below)
- 1 cup oat milk
- 1/4 cup vegetable stock
- 3/4 cup plant-based “parmesan”
- 10 basil leaves
- 1/2 tsp. Himalayan pink salt
- 1/4 tsp. ground black pepper
- 1/4 cup pasta water reserved
Instructions
-
If using fresh bell peppers, preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Roast bell peppers until skin is completely blackened. Transfer roasted bell peppers to bowl with lid to trap in heat. Once cool, remove skin and seeds. If using store-bought roasted bell peppers, start with step two.
-
In blender, combine all ingredients (except the pasta) and blend until sauce is smooth. Tip: Add more pasta water to thin sauce if needed.
-
Pour sauce over hot pasta and cook over medium heat until sauce slightly thickens, about 2 minutes.
-
Garnish with extra basil and plant-based “parmesan” to serve.
