Follow @kalejunkie for more healthy recipes! RESTAURANT-STYLE CREAMY RED PEPPER PASTA 🍝! This has been one of the most popular recipes on my blog for over 3 years now, so I decided it was time for a video. It is INCREDIBLE; so freaking creamy and delicious and easy to make. It also happens to be vegan and gluten-free (if you use gluten-free pasta). ⁣
⁣
Makes 4 to 6 servings⁣
1 16 oz package pasta of choice⁣
2 tbsp olive oil⁣
1 red onion, roughly chopped⁣
3 cloves garlic, mashed or minced⁣
2 tbsp Italian seasoning⁣
1 tsp sea salt⁣
1 tsp crushed black pepper⁣
1/4 cup tomato paste⁣
1/3 cup water⁣
1 15ish oz jar of roasted red peppers⁣
1/2 cup raw unsalted cashews OR 1/2 cup full fat coconut milk⁣⁣
Optional: chopped fresh basil, parmesan cheese⁣
⁣
Prepare pasta according to package instructions and set aside. If using cashews, pour boiling hot water on top and let soak while you prepare the rest of the dish. In a large pan, add olive oil. Once pan is warm, add the chopped onions, garlic, Italian seasoning, sea salt, and black pepper. Sauté for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add the tomato paste and 1/3 cup water. Stir mixture well and turn off the stove. Next, get out your high speed blender. Add the onion mixture, red peppers (drain liquid out of the jar), cashews or coconut milk (whichever you are using), and blend on high for about 2-3 minutes until the sauce is nice and smooth and creamy. Pour the cooked pasta into the same pan that you made the onion mixture. Pour sauce on top of the pasta and use tongs to coat evenly. Add salt & pepper to taste, as well as fresh basil and parmesan cheese on top (optional).⁣
⁣
ENJOY!!!⁣
