ingredients
- 1 tablespoon neutral oil
- 1 large onion, chopped small
- 5 cloves garlic, chopped
- 1 cup sun-dried tomatoes
- 1 (14 ounce) can diced tomatoes
- 1/4 cup nutritional yeast
- 1/4 cup pine nuts
- 1 cup packed fresh basil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 (12 ounce) box pasta, cooked according to package directions
Method
Step 1
Heat a medium sized pan on medium. Once hot, add the oil, chopped onions and garlic and stir. Cook for 5-7 minutes stirring occasionally, until the onions are translucent but not browned.
Step 2
Add the diced tomatoes, nutritional yeast, and salt to the pan and stir. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes.
Step 3
In a food processor or high powered blender, combine the ingredients from the pan along with the pine nuts, sun-dried tomatoes, and fresh basil. Pulse until the sauce has become a desired smooth consistency.
Step 4
Add sauce to your cooked pasta and top with garnishes. For this pasta I like to use pine nuts, cheese, or fresh basil. Eat and enjoy!
