Ingredients
- 12 ounces Pasta (gluten-free if needed)
- 8 ounces Dairy-free sausage (artichoke or plant-based)
- 1.5 cups Artichoke hearts (canned or jarred, drained and chopped)
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 3 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 cup Dairy-free milk (such as almond or oat milk, unsweetened)
- 3 tablespoons Nutritional yeast
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 0.5 teaspoons Red pepper flakes (optional)
- 1 teaspoons Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)
Directions
Step 1
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the pasta according to the package instructions until al dente. Reserve 1/2 cup of pasta water, then drain the pasta and set aside.
Step 2
In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant, being careful not to let it burn.
Step 3
Add the sausage to the skillet, breaking it into small pieces with a spoon or spatula. Cook for 5-7 minutes, or until browned and fully cooked.
Step 4
Stir in the chopped artichoke hearts and cook for another 2-3 minutes to heat them through.
Step 5
Reduce the heat to low, and pour in the dairy-free milk. Stir in the nutritional yeast, lemon juice, red pepper flakes (if using), salt, and black pepper. Mix well to create a creamy sauce.
Step 6
Add the cooked pasta to the skillet, tossing it with the sauce and sausage mixture. If the sauce is too thick, add a little of the reserved pasta water, 1 tablespoon at a time, until the desired consistency is reached.
Step 7
Taste and adjust seasoning with more salt, pepper, or lemon juice, if needed.
Step 8
Serve the pasta warm, garnished with fresh parsley if desired.
