This Vegan Spicy Sun Dried Tomato Pasta is so good and easy to make. It’s a nice change up from typical tomato sauce with your pasta. I like it because it’s spicy and you don’t always see that in pasta dishes. Everything you need is either already in your kitchen or easily accessible at your local grocery store. This pasta is served any time of the year and can be topped with arugala or spinach for some extra greens. I really could eat this every day it’s so addicting.

INGREDIENTS:

Penne Pasta
Sun Dried Tomatoes (canned)
Minced garlic
Almond milk
Corn Starch
Nutritional Yeast
Chili Flakes
Oregano
Olive Oil
Salt + Pepper
Water

Make sure you have a blender, food processor, or a hand blender to blend up the tomatoes. This is key to the recipe. If you do you a blender make sure you cool down the mix before putting the lid on. It might splash if you put the lid on instantly and let it heat up in the blender.

If you want to customize this recipe, add roasted tomatoes at the end of this recipe to get extra tomatoes in your pasta. Additionally, making this sauce to use for your next homemade pizza to spice things up and add a creaminess to your pizza. Similar to alfredo pizza, if you know what I mean?

I really like making this pasta in the summertime because tomatoes always make me think of summertime. Growing up we always grew tomatoes and would make so many recipes with them. Of course salsa which got me addicted to spicy things. This pasta is perfect if you’re like me and love tomatoes along with spice then you will love this pasta.
