Ingredients
- 300 g Pasta (gluten-free if needed)
- 2 tbsp Olive oil
- 3 pieces Garlic cloves, minced
- 250 ml Unsweetened plant-based milk (e.g., almond, oat, or soy)
- 3 tbsp Nutritional yeast
- 100 g Vegan cream cheese
- 2 tbsp White truffle oil
- 1 tsp Salt
- 0.5 tsp Black pepper, freshly ground
- 2 tbsp 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, then drain, reserving 1 cup of pasta water.
Step 2
While the pasta cooks, heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant, but not browned.
Step 3
Lower the heat and pour in the plant-based milk. Stir in the nutritional yeast and vegan cream cheese, whisking until the sauce is smooth and creamy.
Step 4
Add the white truffle oil, salt, and black pepper to the sauce. Mix well and taste for seasoning, adjusting if necessary.
Step 5
Combine the cooked pasta with the sauce in the skillet. Toss until the pasta is well coated. If the sauce is too thick, add a small amount of the reserved pasta water to loosen it.
Step 6
Serve immediately, garnished with chopped fresh parsley if desired.
