Ingredients
- 8 ounces pasta, ~2 cups, uncooked, (250g)
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 2 shallots, finely diced
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/4 cup tomato paste, (55g)
- 1 tbsp lemon juice or vodka
- 1 cup vegan creamer, soy, unsweet, (250ml)
- 2 tbsp vegan butter
- 1/2 cup pasta water, start with 1/4 cup, (60-120ml)
- 1/2 tsp red pepper flakes, adjust according to spice preference
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp pepper
- 1/3 cup vegan parmesan, (30g)
- basil for garnish
Instructions
- Boil the pasta to al dente according to the package instructions. Save 1/2 cup of the pasta water before straining it. Make the sauce while the pasta cooks.
- Dice the shallots and mince the garlic. Heat a large pan over medium heat. Once heated, add the oil.
- Add the shallots to the pan and stir them around as they cook for 2-3 minutes, or until soft. Add the garlic and cook it for a minute as it becomes fragrant.
- Spoon in the tomato paste and stir often as it cooks for 4-5 minutes. It will become a darker color.
- Stir in the lemon juice. Once that’s fully incorporated, add the creamer, red pepper flakes, salt, and pepper.
- Cook the sauce for 1-2 more minutes, or until it thickens. Taste to see if you want to add more seasoning.
- Toss in the cooked pasta, ¼ cup of the pasta water, and the vegan butter. Stir to coat the noodles until the butter has melted. Add more pasta water if needed.
- Take the pasta off of the heat and stir in the vegan parmesan. Garnish with fresh basil and enjoy!

Notes
Ingredient Substitutions
- Pasta - Use any pasta such as penne, shells, etc.
- Onion - 1 small red onion can be used in place of the shallots.
- Lemon Juice - Or the same amount of vodka.
- Vegan Creamer - Use the kind generally intended for coffee. I think soy works best. Another option is vegan half and half. Full-fat, regular plant-based milk works too, but it will produce a thinner sauce.
- Red Pepper Flakes - Omit if you don't want a spicy dish. Add more if you want to kick up the heat!
