One Pot Cherry Tomato Basil Pasta
A delicious and easy one pot cherry tomato basil pasta inspired by Meghan Markle.
Equipment
- Large non-stick pan deep
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon olive oil See link for product
- 5 cloves garlic minced
- 4 cups cherry tomatoes about 560g
- 1 tablespoon harissa paste or Calabrian chili paste
- ½ lbs spaghetti gluten-free if needed
- 3½ cups boiling water
- ⅓ cup nutritional yeast
- 1 handful fresh basil large
Instructions
- In a saute pan over medium heat, add the olive oil, cherry tomatoes and garlic.
- Saute until fragrant and the cherry tomatoes begin to soften approximately 3 minutes. Add the calabrian chili paste and stir until the tomatoes and garlic are coated.
- Next add the spaghetti. Now, pour in the boiling water over it.
- Cook and stir frequently until the pasta is tender and the water has almost evaporated, creating a light sauce over the spaghetti.
- Turn off the heat, and stir in nutritional yeast and a large handful of basil. Enjoy immediately with vegan parmesan, if desired.
Notes
Not a fan of spice? Use sun-dried tomato pesto instead of chili paste. Swap spaghetti for penne, fusilli, or linguine. Gluten-free noodles work great too! For protein, stir in chickpeas or use chickpea pasta. Try different herbs and greens like kale or rosemary for a twist.
