Step 1

In a medium size pot, warm the olive oil over medium heat. Add the shallot and cook for a few minutes, until soft. Add the garlic then remove the pot from heat. Allow the garlic to cook, stirring intermittently, as the pot cools.

Step 2

To the blender, add the drained beans, cooked shallot/garlic, ¼ cup of broth, lemon juice, and nutritional yeast. Blend until smooth and creamy. *The texture should be thick but easily pourable. If it's too thick, add remaining broth until desired texture is achieved.* Taste test and add salt & pepper as desired.

Step 3

In the same pot, bring water to a boil and cook pasta as directed on package. Strain cooked pasta for just a second then immediately return to the pot so that there is a trace amount of pasta water left. The starches in the remaining cooking water will create an even creamer sauce. Add the sauce to the pot with the cooked pasta and stir until evenly coated. Serve warm and enjoy!
