Ingredients
- 400 grams Spaghetti (certified vegan)
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 4 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 500 grams Cherry tomatoes, halved
- 2 tablespoons Tomato paste
- 10 leaves Basil leaves, fresh
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper, freshly ground
- 50 grams Vegan Parmesan (optional, for serving)
Directions
Step 1
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the vegan spaghetti and cook according to the package instructions until al dente. Reserve 1 cup of pasta water, then drain the spaghetti and set aside.
Step 2
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes, stirring frequently, until fragrant but not browned.
Step 3
Add the halved cherry tomatoes to the skillet and cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they start to soften and release their juices.
Step 4
Stir in the tomato paste and cook for an additional 2 minutes, allowing the paste to caramelize slightly and deepen the flavor.
Step 5
Season the sauce with salt and black pepper, then add a few torn basil leaves for extra aroma and flavor.
Step 6
Add the cooked spaghetti to the skillet and toss well to coat it evenly in the sauce. If the sauce seems too thick, gradually add some of the reserved pasta water, 2 tablespoons at a time, until the desired consistency is reached.
Step 7
Taste and adjust seasoning with more salt or pepper, if needed.
Step 8
Serve the spaghetti pomodoro immediately, garnished with additional fresh basil leaves and a sprinkle of vegan Parmesan, if desired.
