Vegan Tomato Pasta (Print-Friendly Version)

# What You'll Need:

→ Main Ingredients

01 - 4 cloves garlic, minced
02 - 4 servings of gluten-free fettuccine
03 - 10 chopped sun-dried tomatoes
04 - 2 cups fresh baby arugula
05 - 1 tbsp Italian spice blend
06 - ½ cup chopped flat-leaf parsley
07 - 1 cup water or use veggie broth if you'd like
08 - 3 tbsp tomato paste
09 - 1 tbsp balsamic vinegar
10 - 2 cups cherry tomatoes
11 - 7 oz canned full-fat coconut milk, scoop just the thick cream
12 - 3 tbsp nutritional yeast
13 - Salt and pepper, as much as you want
14 - Vegan parmesan (add it if you want!)

# Step-by-Step Directions:

01 - Dish out the pasta into bowls or plates. Sprinkle on some chopped parsley. Add vegan parmesan on top if you feel like it.
02 - Slide the drained pasta into your skillet. Toss in the arugula. Stir everything around so the noodles get nicely coated and mixed together.
03 - Throw in the cherry tomatoes with a cup of water. Put a lid on it, let them get tender for a few minutes. Smash the tomatoes a bit with your spoon. Pour in coconut cream and nutritional yeast, sprinkle salt and pepper, and simmer until the sauce gets thick. Should take at least five minutes.
04 - Now add Italian seasonings, balsamic, and tomato paste to the pan. Cook the mix until it smells awesome and looks a bit sticky. Two or three minutes should do it.
05 - Get your skillet hot and add water, broth, or a little oil. Toss in the sun-dried tomatoes and garlic. Stir and cook for about two minutes. Add a splash more liquid if it sticks.
06 - Fill a big pot with water and bring it to a boil. Cook your gluten-free fettuccine until it’s just tender. Drain it and let it hang out for a bit.

# Helpful Notes:

01 - If you want a super smooth and creamy texture, scoop only the thick creamy part from your can of coconut milk.
