One Pan Creamy Sun-Dried Tomato Pasta Recipe

Introduction

This one pan creamy sun-dried tomato pasta is a quick and satisfying vegan dish that combines rich flavors and simple ingredients. Perfect for a cozy weeknight dinner, it delivers a luscious sauce made with oat cream and vegan cheese.

Ingredients

• 2 tbsp vegan butter
• 200 g spaghetti
• 1 tsp Italian seasoning
• 50 g sun-dried tomatoes (roughly chopped)
• 480 ml low sodium vegetable broth
• 120 ml oat cream or any vegan cream
• 2 tbsp vegan cream cheese
• 2 tbsp vegan parmesan
• Extra vegan parmesan (for serving)

Instructions

1. Step 1: Melt the vegan butter in a large pan over medium heat. Lay the spaghetti flat in the pan, breaking it in half if necessary to fit. Sprinkle with Italian seasoning and scatter the sun-dried tomatoes evenly on top.
2. Step 2: Pour the vegetable broth over the pasta. Cover the pan with a lid and cook for 5 minutes to allow the pasta to soften.

4. Step 4: Serve the pasta plated with extra vegan parmesan sprinkled on top and fresh basil for garnish.

FAQs

Can I use regular cream instead of oat cream?

Yes, you can substitute oat cream with regular dairy cream if you are not following a vegan diet. It will yield a similar creamy texture and flavor.

Do I need to pre-cook the spaghetti before adding it to the pan?

No, the spaghetti cooks directly in the broth during the recipe, which allows it to absorb more flavor and simplifies the cooking process.
