Recipe

One Pot Vegan Vodka Sauce Pasta from The Easy Vegan. Review + GIVEAWAY!

•gluten-free option* •soy-free •no added oil This has all the ease you expect from a one-pot meal. You cook the pasta right in the creamy tomato sauce, which has the barest hint of vodka and mushrooms, carrots and eggplant.

  • Serves 4
  • Prep 15 minutes
  • Cook 20 minutes
  • Total 35 minutes

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)

Instructions

  1. 1

    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.

  2. 2

    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.
