- Category: Pasta
- Cuisine: Italian
Ingredients
- 2½ cups 8 oz rotini pasta ((*use gluten-free pasta))
- ¾ cup mushrooms, chopped small
- ¾ cup shredded carrots
- ½ cup minced eggplant
- 2 cups 18 oz vegan marinara sauce or Mushroom Red Pepper Pasta Sauce (page 85)
- 2 cups plain nondairy milk, unsweetened
- 1 tablespoon 15 ml vodka (optional)
- 2 teaspoons tomato paste
- 2 teaspoons nutritional yeast
- 1 teaspoon basil
- ½ teaspoon oregano
- ¼ teaspoon pepper flakes
- ⅛ teaspoon onion powder
- Salt (to taste)
Method
- Add everything but the salt to a deep skillet and push the pasta underneath the liquid. Bring to a boil, then turn the heat down to medium-low and simmer until the pasta is al dente, about 10 minutes.
- Stir every few minutes so everything doesn’t stick to the bottom of the pan. Cook for about 9 minutes or until the pasta is tender. The timing will vary depending on the shape and kind of pasta you use. Taste and add salt if needed.
