Recipe video above. Pasta in a pink tomato cream sauce! You'll love how creamy this sauce is, how there's plenty of it and yet you don't need gallons of cream. Slurp-worthy as it is, or use it as a base for add ins of your choice - suggestions in the recipe notes.&nbsp;

Pasta with Tomato Cream Sauce

300 grams/10 oz spaghetti

unsalted butter

garlic (, minced)

onion (, finely chopped)

tomato

/ 125 ml milk (, low fat)

tsp dried basil,

tsp chicken stock

pepper + salt

Cook pasta in a big pot of boiling water for time per packet MINUS 2 minutes. Just before draining, scoop out a mugful of pasta cooking water.

Melt butter in large skillet over medium heat. Add garlic and onion, cook until translucent - about 2 minutes.

Add remaining ingredients. Stir until parmesan is melted. Turn heat up slightly and simmer for 2 minutes. Adjust salt to taste.

Add pasta. Toss for 1 to 2 minutes or until sauce thickens and is clinging to pasta instead of swimming on the base of the skillet (video shows this well). Use reserved pasta cooking water if required to thin the sauce out if it gets too thick.

Serve immediately, garnished with more parmesan and parsley if desired.

Rich Creamy Rosé Pasta Sauce with veggies

olive oil oil

leek

garlic, crushed

mushrooms, rough chop

cauliflower, small florets

broccoli, small pieces

8-10 brussel sprouts, quartered*

zucchini, chunks

8-12 Gardein Meatless Meatballs (optional)

dry basil, oregano, thyme combo

marinara sauce (or any red sauce)

spinach, rough chop

cashew cream recipe (link below)

red pepper flakes

pasta

parsley/basil,

Cashew Cream (if you don&#039;t have any on hand, here&#039;s a link to the full recipe).

Wash and prepare the vegetables of your choice. Use any leftover veggies for this recipe - add them with the spinach since they won&#39;t have to cook for as long as the raw vegetables. NOTE: Use more or less vegetables as per your personal preference. This recipe is totally customizable, choose any vegetables your family enjoys.

Preparing the Vegetables

Trim end, slice through center and rinse dirt from leeks (they often hold a lot of dirt in their layers), thinly cross slice the white and light green parts of the leek and set aside.

Save the dark green section (which is tougher) for a stew or bake where you are cooking it for longer.

OR use 1/2 a white/yellow onion, diced.

Leeks or Diced Onions

Trim the large stalks to add as small dice (or save them for soup, stir fry or ricing) separate or cut into bite-size florets.

Cauliflower and Broccoli

Pro Tip: This is a great recipe to use vegetable scraps because you cut them up and saute them. So use up your cauliflower and broccoli stems, mushroom stems, etc. Keep the bits and bobs and ends of veggies from preparing meals and salads all week and then make this yummy veggie forward rosé sauce on Sunday.

Cut the vegetables into a variety of shapes and sizes to keep the texture of the dish interesting.

Mushrooms - use a variety of mushrooms (rough chop or cut button mushrooms in half)Brussel sprouts - either cut into quarters or shred Zucchini - cut into thick slices and then into quarters (chunks) or diceSpinach - stack, roll, and slice into ribbons or rough chop

Other Vegetable Options

Put salted water on to boil for the pasta. I used spaghetti (Kamut) but this recipe works well with any pasta and is especially good with penne or rotini. Cook as per package directions.

* Reserve a cup of water when draining.

Pasta

In a large stirfry pan, heat oil (use a splash of broth if oil free), leeks or diced onions, garlic, and mushrooms.

Saute for a few minutes until soft and translucent over medium heat.

Add all the &#39;hard&#39; veggies - cauliflower, broccoli, brussels - stir and saute for 5-7 minutes. Deglaze with a splash of broth or wine as you go.

Add zucchini and meatballs (if using) saute for another 2 or 3 minutes.

Add dry spices - oregano, basil, thyme, any Italian spices plus salt and pepper, red pepper flakes to taste.

Add 4 cups of red sauce - your favourite jarred marinara sauce (2 jars or 1 jar plus 2 cups crushed tomatoes) or try this delicious Rich Red Marinara Sauce recipe. Bring to bubbling over medium-high heat.

Stir in spinach (plus leftover cooked veggies if using).

Reduce heat and let simmer for 5-10 minutes or until meatballs are done*.

If the sauce is too thick, add in some or all of the reserve pasta water to desired consistency.

Taste for seasoning and adjust if necessary.

How to Make Creamy Tomato Sauce

* If you are going to add the Gardein meatless meatballs, add them when you add the zucchini and then simmer sauce until meatballs are done (see package directions).

Vegan Meatballs

Just before serving, swirl a dollop (1/4 - 1/3 cup) of cashew cream into the sauce and simmer until warmed through.

Cashew Cream Sauce (5 minutes)

Divide the pasta onto 4 plates or bowls, smother in creamy tomato rosé sauce, an extra swirl of cashew cream, a couple meatless meatballs (if using), a sprinkle of hot pepper flakes, and chopped fresh parsley/basil.

Serve with crusty bun or wedge of warm bread to scoop up the last of the creamy sauce and any tasty bits!

This Creamy Polenta and Mushroom-Tomato Sauce Recipe is one for the regular / easy / healthy dinner rotation! You might not think vegan polenta can be creamy and cheesy, but this recipe is here to prove you wrong! Topped with a savory, but healthy mushroom-kale tomato sauce, this creamy polenta recipe will keep you warm all winter long! 

Vegan Creamy Polenta with Mushroom Ragu

13.5 oz can full fat, unsweetened canned coconut milk

water

salt

polenta (or medium ground flint corn cornmeal)

yeast

medium yellow onion (sliced thin)

tbsp extra virgin olive oil

mushrooms

garlic (peeled and crushed)

tomato paste

tsp fennel seeds (crushed with the knife handle to release the oils)

thyme

red wine (optional)

28 oz can diced tomatoes

salt & pepper (to taste)

Lacinato kale (washed, destemmed, torn and massaged)

lemon juice

In a small pot, bring the coconut milk and water to a boil. Slowly add the polenta while stirring constantly. Add the salt. Reduce to a simmer and allow to cook for approximately 20 minutes, stirring every 5 minutes. If the polenta becomes too thick to stir, add additional water. You will likely need to add ~2 additional cups of water. The polenta is done when it is smooth and creamy (not gritty or sand-like). When the right consistency is reached, add the nutritional yeast and additional salt &amp; pepper, if desired. I highly recommend reading my blog post on how to cook polenta. 

Heat a cast iron skillet and add the olive oil. Heat until shimmering. Add the sliced onions and reduce the heat to medium-low. Stirring occasionally, allow the onions to gently brown. About 15-20 minutes. 

Add the garlic and allow to cook until fragrant. Be careful not to burn the garlic. About 1-2 minutes.

Add the fennel seeds, basil, oregano, thyme and tomato paste. Stir until well combined and allow to cook until the tomato paste becomes a dark red. About 2 minutes. 

Add the red wine to deglaze the pan (optional).

Add the mushrooms. Stir until well coated. 

Add the diced tomatoes and bring to a simmer. Allow to simmer for 15-20 minutes. The sauce should thicken as the liquid from the canned tomatoes cooks off. Season with salt and pepper to taste throughout the simmering process. 

While the ragu is simmering, prepare the kale. I highly recommend massaging the kale before adding it to the ragu, It will make it more tender and less bitter. To massage the kale, crunch the torn leaves with your hands. The kale will become darker and less rigid. With five minutes remaining in the cooking process, add the fresh lemon juice and the massaged kale. 

Serve in small bowls with a bottom layer of polenta. Spoon the mushroom and kale ragu over the polenta. Serve garnished with fresh parsley, vegan parmesan and crushed red pepper. 

This creamy vegan pasta recipe combines ripe tomatoes with rosé wine and fresh basil to create a comforting blush pasta sauce that’s completely dairy free. The rosé pasta sauce is velvety, comforting, and packed full of flavor.

Creamy Rosé Tomato Basil Sauce (Vegan)

raw cashews

yeast (optional)

garlic,

white onion, diced

dry rosé wine

good large tomatoes, chopped

fresh basil, chopped

tsp red pepper flakes

Salt

Pepper

lb rigatoni, pasta

Soak cashews in hot water for at least 30 minutes.

Make cashew cream. Add soaked cashews in water to a high powered blender. Add a dash of salt and nutritional yeast. Blend on high for 1-2 minutes until smooth and creamy. Add a few tbsp of water if you need to help blend.

Pour cashew cream into a bowl and set aside and rinse out blender.

Heat olive oil in a large saute pan over medium heat. Add garlic, onion, and a generous grind of salt and pepper. Cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally until onion is translucent, being careful not to burn the garlic.

Add rosé to the pan and turn up the heat a bit. Cook until liquid has reduced by half, about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Add tomatoes, basil, and red pepper flakes, reduce to a simmer, and cook for 15 minutes until tomatoes are broken apart and super soft, stirring occasionally.

Remove sauce from heat and add to your blender (you can also use an immersion blender). Blend on high until sauce is creamy. 

Pour sauce back into the saute pan and stir in the cashew cream.

Add lemon juice and more salt and pepper to taste.

Cook pasta according to package instructions. Reserve 1/4 cup of pasta water.

Add cooked pasta and pasta water to the pan with sauce. Stir gently to coat the pasta in the sauce

Portion into bowls, garnish with fresh basil and enjoy with a glass of rosé!

Outstanding! I reserved a little pasta water to thin out the sauce just a touch and ensure I had enough sauce for 16 oz of pasta. It was absolutely perfect! Already shared with tons of family and friends. Thank you for a great recipe!

The sauce has a really strong cashew taste so I would recommend some red pepper flakes or some sort of other spices. I ended up uses more tomatoes and jalapeños as well to cover the cashew more
