    Scale

    Ingredients

    This makes enough sauce for 1 small box of pasta, so 2-4 servings

    Sauce

    • 4 carrots - chopped into ½ inch pieces
    • ½ onion - peeled with the ends chopped off
    • 2 tbsp tomato paste
    • 1 bulb garlic - top cut off
    • 2 red bell peppers - quartered
    • ¼ cup nutritional yeast
    • 1 tbsp miso paste (can sub soy sauce or omit, but it does add flavor)
    • salt/pepper to taste
    • juice from ½ lemon
    • ¾ cup unsweetened and unflavored plant milk
    • ¼ cup reserved pasta water (make sure it is well salted)
    • ¼ cup hemp seeds

    Other ingredients

    • 1 box cooked pasta of choice
    • ½ cup roughly chopped basil (for topping)

    Instructions

    1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
    2. Add onion, carrots, bell pepper and garlic to a sheet pan lined with parchment paper. Do not use a baking dish because the carrots will not cook fast enough.
    3. Roast veggies for 40-45 minutes, until carrots have softened.
    4. Remove garlic from bulb (I squeezed mine) and add to a blender along with the rest of the ingredients.
    5. Blend sauce until smooth. Pour sauce over your favorite pasta and top with basil. Dig in.

      This recipe is AMAZING!!! I've been vegan for 7 years and have tried my share of vegan creamy pasta recipes... this one may be my new favourite for a few reasons. I'd say its budget friendly compared to other vegan creamy pasta sauce recipes that require tons of cashews or other nuts. And it's easy & quick! I boiled by carrots to save a bit of time and it still tasted delicious. I also used pumpkin seeds because I couldn't find my hemp seeds and that worked as well. Again, 10/10 🙂
