Servings: 4 people
Ingredients
- 1 pint cherry tomatoes halved
- 1/4 tsp kosher salt and pepper for roasting
- 1 tbsp avocado oil for roasting
- 1/2 lb. macaroni or pasta of choice
- 2 plant-based sausages
- 1 small yellow onion finely chopped
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 3/4-1 cup packed marinated artichokes drained and chopped, to taste
- 1/3 cup packed sun-dried tomatoes packed in oil drained and finely chopped
- 3/4 cup packed roasted red peppers drained and chopped
- 1/3 cup dairy free heavy cream*
- 1/2 cup marinara sauce
- 1 tsp kosher salt
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 3/4 cup cooked peas
- Juice of 1/4 to 1/2 lemon to taste
- 1 to 2 tbsp finely chopped fresh parsley to taste
- Red chili flakes for serving
Instructions
- Roast tomatoes in a baking dish, with their oil and seasoning, at 400 degrees F for 20 to 30 min, until juices are released and skins starting to wilt. Remove from oven.
- Meanwhile, cook macaroni in salted water (around 2 tbsp kosher salt) until barely al dente. You can cook the peas along with the pasta if desired. Drain, reserving 1/2 cup pasta cooking water.
- While those cook, sauté onions with olive oil on medium to medium low heat for 5 to 6 min, stir occasionally. Add the crumbled sausage, and cook for another 5 to 6 min until sausage is getting lightly browned and onions are translucent.
- Add all remaining ingredients except parsley, including drained pasta and roasted tomatoes and their juices. Stir well and add in 1/4 to 1/2 cup pasta cooking water. Cook another couple min on low heat, stirring halfway. Add parsley, serve with red chili flakes if desired.
Notes
*If you can't find dairy-free heavy cream, you can substitute full-fat coconut milk. Alternatively, you can substitute unsweetened oat milk, soy milk, lite coconut milk or almond milk. It just won't be quite as creamy.
