This creamy sun-dried tomato pasta with capers and dill is a delicious vegan dish that's easy to prepare and full of flavor.
Equipment
- large pan
- pot for boiling pasta
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon avocado oil
- 1 teaspoon vegan butter (optional)
- 1 medium yellow onion, finely chopped
- 6 cloves roasted garlic or sub 4-6 raw cloves garlic, minced
- ¼ cup white wine
- 2 tablespoon tomato paste
- ½ teaspoon dried parsley
- ⅓ cup sun-dried tomatoes in oil, drained, rinsed, and chopped
- 1 tablespoon capers
- 1 heaping tbsp fresh dill
- ½ cup cashew milk
- 300 g brown rice spaghetti
- pecorino cheese or vegan parmesan for serving (optional)
Instructions
- Start by heating the olive oil and vegan butter (if using) in a large pan over medium-high heat.
- Add the chopped onion and saute for about 5 minutes until translucent. Lower the heat to medium.
- Add the garlic. If roasted, just smash it to incorporate and immediately add the white wine. If raw, cook stirring constantly for a minute.
- Add white wine and cook until almost evaporated.
- Add the tomato paste, parsley, sun-dried tomatoes, capers, and fresh dill. Stir well. Add the cashew milk and stir again until everything’s incorporated. Take off heat until pasta is cooked.
- While you make the sauce, cook the pasta according to package instructions. Reserve ½ cup of the cooking water, and drain and rinse the pasta.
- Warm the sauce back up, add the pasta to the sauce and gently toss to coat. Add pasta water as necessary to loosen the sauce.
- Serve immediately dusted with pecorino cheese or vegan parmesan if desired.
