Creamy Pasta Sauce (DF)
Aug 06, 2020
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 2 medium shallots, diced
- 8 large cloves garlic, minced
- 1 pinch each sea salt and black pepper
- 3-4 Tbsp arrowroot powder
- 2 1/2 cups unsweetened plain almond milk
- 1-3 tbsp nutritional yeast
- 2 tbsp basil, diced
- In a large frypan over medium-low heat, add olive oil, garlic and shallots. Add a pinch of salt and black pepper and stir frequently, cooking for 3-4 minutes until softened and fragrant.
- Stir in the arrowroot and mix with a whisk. Once combined, slowly whisk in the almond milk a little at a time so clumps don’t form. Add another healthy pinch of salt and black pepper, bring to a simmer and continue cooking for another 4-5 minutes to thicken. Taste and adjust seasonings as needed, adding more salt to taste, minced garlic for zing, or a little nutritional yeast for a cheesy flavour. Add the basil here too.
- If you want an ultra creamy sauce, transfer sauce to a blender and blend the sauce until creamy and smooth. Place back in pan and reduce heat to a low simmer until desired thickness is reached.
