Let’s Cook Up Vegan Roasted Red Pepper Pasta Sauce

Sunday is often pasta night in our house because it’s easy, but feels so luxurious and nourishing. All the things you want when you’re getting ready to start the week. First up roast two red peppers until soft, charred and flavorful. Meanwhile, cook up the shallots and garlic to give the sauce a bold and slightly sweet taste.

The roasted red peppers is what gives this sauce that classic orange hue and creamy texture. Something else that helps keep this vegan sauce super creamy is Pacific Foods Hemp Plant-Based Beverage.

Made from the hemp seed, Pacific Foods Hemp Beverages are a great source of plant-based nutrition that includes Omega 3 and essential amino acids. This was my first time using Hemp Plant-Based Beverage and it was absolutely perfect in this recipe. Since whipping up this Vegan Roasted Red Pepper Pasta Sauce, I’ve enjoyed the Hemp Plant-Based Beverage in my coffee, cereal and oatmeal. It’s fabulous!

Author: Kim

Ingredients

  • 2 whole red bell peppers
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 shallots or 1 small onion, diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • Sea salt and ground black pepper to taste
  • 1 1/2 cups Pacific Foods Hemp Plant-Based Beverage*
  • 2 tablespoons nutritional yeast
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons cornstarch or arrowroot powder (or other thickener of choice)
  • optional: Pinch red pepper flake for heat
  • 16 ounces linguini or spaghetti noodles of choice (use gluten-free if needed)
  • salt & pepper, to taste

Instructions 

  • Preheat oven to 500 degrees F. Place red peppers on baking sheet and roast 20-30 minutes until peppers are charred. Remove from oven and cover with foil or a bowl for about 10 minutes to steam, then peel off charred skin and remove seeds and stems. Set aside.
  • While the red peppers are roasting, sauté shallots (or onion) and garlic in olive oil until tender. Season with salt and pepper; stirring frequently. Remove from heat and set aside.
  • Also, cook pasta according to package instructions; drain, toss in a small bit of olive oil, and set aside.
  • Transfer sautéed onion and garlic to blender with roasted peppers, hemp beverage, nutritional yeast, cornstarch and red pepper flake (if using). Add desired amount of salt and pepper, to taste.
  • Blend until creamy and smooth, taste and add more salt and pepper or nutritional yeast for flavor. 
  • Once blended, place sauce back in the skillet over medium heat to thicken. Once it reaches a simmer, reduce heat to low and continue simmering.
  • Once sauce is thickened to desired consistency, add noodles and toss to coat.
  • Garnish with fresh chopped parsley or basil and, if desired, serve with crusty bread and a side salad. Enjoy!
