Serving size: 1 serving
Ingredients:
Pasta of choice (cooked based on the instructions on the box)
1/2 of a red bell pepper
1/2 of a medium sized onion chopped
1 clove garlic (chopped)
1/3 cup almond milk (or sub milk of choice)
1 tsp arrowroot powder (or cornstarch)
Chili flakes
Salt
Olive oil
Procedure:
1. Roast the red pepper in an oven for about 30 minutes on 260 deg C. Cover it to allow to steam then peel the skin and take out the seeds.
2. SautƩ the onion and garlic with a touch of olive oil until it browns. Add salt & pepper.
3. Blend the sautƩed onion and garlic with the remainder of the ingredients until it turns creamy and smooth.
4. Taste and adjust the seasoning to your liking. I like it extra spicy so I add lots of chili flakes.
5. Transfer to a skillet on medium heat and let it sit to thicken. When it starts to simmer, reduce the heat and let it continue to simmer.
6. Once the sauce thickens to the consistency you like, toss it with the pasta. And enjoy!š *You can add nutritional yeast for a cheesy flavor but I didnāt.
