This vegan pasta sauce with sun-dried tomatoes is super creamy, packed with flavor, and so easy to make! If you like creamy pasta dishes you will love it!
Oh how I love pasta dishes! When I first became vegan, I really missed creamy pasta sauces. Luckily, you can use cashews as a base to make ultimate creamy pasta sauces. This sun-dried tomato pasta is one of my favorites when it comes to creamy pasta dishes!
What You Need For The Vegan Pasta Sauce:
- sun-dried tomatoes (in oil)
- cashews (unsalted)
- tomato paste
- white wine vinegar
- nutritional yeast
- unsweetened milk
- salt
- garlic
As always, you can find the full ingredient list and the recipe instructions in a printable recipe box at the end of this post.
How To Make This Sun-Dried Tomato Pasta:
STEP 1: Cook the pasta according to the instructions on the package.
STEP 2: Combine all of the ingredients for the sauce in a high speed blender and blend on high until smooth. This should take about a minute.
STEP 3: Pour the sauce into a large pan and heat on low heat. Stir with a wooden spoon.
STEP 4: Add the cooked pasta and stir until well combined.
STEP 5: Serve immediately. If you want you could add some thinly sliced sun-dried tomatoes, fresh oregano, and red pepper flakes on top.
Recipe Notes:
- Its important to use a high speed blender for this recipe. Otherwise the sauce wont become as creamy as it is supposed to be. I used my Vitamix to make it.
- I didnt soak the cashews and I think its not necessary if you use a high speed blender. However, you could soak them overnight or for about 30 minutes in hot water if you want to make things a bit easier for your blender.
- Make sure to use unsweetened plant-based milk. I usually use unsweetened almond milk but the recipe also works with unsweetened soy or oat milk.
- To make this pasta dish gluten-free, I recommend using brown rice penne. You could also use chickpea or red lentil pasta if you want, but I usually prefer brown rice pasta.
- I recommend using sun-dried tomatoes in oil instead of dry ones. The sauce turns out much creamier and richer this way.
