- Chef Knife
- Cutting Board

Ingredients
For Boiling Pasta:
- 250 g Cavatappi Pasta or any kind you like
- 1½ tsp Olive oil
- 1 tsp Salt
For the Sauce:
- 2 tbsp Olive oil
- 6-7 cloves Garlic minced
- 1 medium Onion chopped
- 5-6 medium Tomatoes preferably sun-dried
- 1½ tsp Oregano
- 1 tsp Red Chili Flakes
- 100 ml Coconut Milk
- 50 g Vegan Cheese shredded
- Salt
- Basil Leaves for finishing
Instructions
- Cook your pasta according to the package instructions. Don’t forget to save a bit of the pasta water (about 1 cup) before draining! This will help loosen the sauce later.
- In a large skillet, saute minced garlic and onion in heated olive oil on high heat till they have become slightly golden brown.
- Now add sliced tomatoes, salt, oregano, and red chili flakes, and mix well. Reduce the sauce till the oil separates.
- Then add the coconut milk and vegan cheese, and let it simmer until the sauce thickens up a bit.
- Add the cooked pasta and toss everything together to coat the pasta evenly. If the sauce needs thinning, add a splash of the reserved pasta water and stir until silky smooth.
- Serve your Vegan Marry Me Pasta topped with fresh herbs or a sprinkle of vegan Parmesan for that extra touch of indulgence.
Notes
- Make it Protein-Packed: Add sautéed tofu, tempeh, or chickpeas for a protein boost.
- Add Extra Veggies: Spinach, kale, or roasted veggies like zucchini or bell peppers are a great way to make this dish even more nutritious and colorful.
- Spicy Twist: If you like a bit of heat, toss in a pinch of red pepper flakes or chopped chili,
- Gluten-Free option: Simply swap regular pasta with gluten-free pasta for a gluten-free version of this dish.
