🛒 Ingredients
- pasta
- onion
👩🍳 How to Make It
- Cook the pasta according to package directions; drain and set aside.
- Slice the onion and sauté in olive oil until golden and soft.
- Add plant‑based milk, nutritional yeast, minced garlic, salt, and pepper; simmer until the sauce thickens.
- Toss the cooked pasta into the creamy sauce and stir to coat evenly.
- Serve warm, optionally garnished with fresh herbs.
🍽️ Serving Suggestions
- Plate the pasta in a shallow bowl, drizzle a little extra‑virgin olive oil, and sprinkle fresh basil or parsley for a pop of color and aroma.
- Serve alongside a crisp arugula‑lemon salad tossed with toasted pine nuts for contrast and a refreshing bite.
- Pair with a chilled glass of crisp white wine or a sparkling rosemary‑infused water to balance the richness.
💡 Chef's Tips & Variations
- Swap the plain onion for caramelized shallots or add a splash of smoked paprika for a subtle smoky twist.
- Stir in a handful of frozen peas or sautéed spinach in the last minute of cooking for extra veggies and a burst of green.
- For a protein boost, toss in cooked chickpeas or crumbled tofu; they soak up the sauce beautifully.
- If you love a little heat, finish the dish with a pinch of red‑pepper flakes or a drizzle of chili‑garlic oil.
