Description
A delicious and creamy vegan pasta dish inspired by French onion dip, perfect for a comforting meal.
Ingredients
Scale
- 8 ounces of pasta (your choice, such as penne or rotini)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 large onion, thinly sliced
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup vegetable broth
- 1 cup unsweetened almond milk
- 2 tablespoons nutritional yeast
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch mixed with 2 tablespoons water
- Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
- Cook the pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
- In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the sliced onion and salt, cooking for about 10 minutes until the onions are soft and translucent.
- Sprinkle the sugar over the onions and continue to cook for another 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the onions are caramelized and golden brown.
- Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
- Pour in the vegetable broth, almond milk, nutritional yeast, soy sauce, onion powder, garlic powder, and black pepper. Stir to combine.
- Bring the mixture to a simmer, then add the cornstarch mixture to thicken the sauce. Stir continuously until the sauce thickens, about 2-3 minutes.
- Add the cooked pasta to the skillet, tossing to coat the pasta evenly with the sauce. Cook for another 2-3 minutes to heat through.
- Serve immediately, garnished with fresh parsley.
Notes
- For a spicier kick, add a pinch of red pepper flakes while cooking the onions.
- To make it a heartier dish, toss in some sautéed mushrooms or spinach before serving.
