How To Make Vegan Creamy Garlic Pasta
Start by cooking your pasta, al dente, according to package instructions. Then, heat oil on a large non-stick pan on medium-high heat.
Add minced garlic and sauté for a couple of minutes. Mix in flour then slowly pour in the coconut milk or 1.5 cups of unsweetened soy milk while stirring. Stir until well-combined. Mix in nutritional yeast, Italian seasoning, salt, garlic powder, and if you’d like dried parsley. Let it come to a soft boil, stirring frequently, then turn it down to a low simmer.
Once pasta is cooked, drain and add into the creamy garlic sauce, along with the chickpeas if you wish. Toss until well-coated. Let the pasta cook in the pasta sauce for 1-2 minutes longer as the sauce thickens and add salt and pepper to taste. Top with some more parsley as needed and serve.

Made this for dinner tonight, delicious. I added broccoli directly to the sauce, though in hindsight I would add it individually to the top off each serving. Thank you so much for making this video, Rose. I have become A junk food vegan, because eating quick is easier than eating healthy. This recipe is exactly what I need to get back on track and meal-prepping.
broccoli sounds like the perfect addition! Thanks so much, Stephanie! So happy you enjoyed it 🙂

I’m obsessed with your cashew Alfredo sauce but I also love how tasty and creamy your garlic pasta dish is! Love adding broccoli for the crunch and nutrition (also the green just pops and looks pretty lol)
Honestly you can’t go wrong with either of those recipes! They’re some of my top faves!
I am not a fan of coconut milk, but did try this recipe and used unflavoured almond instead.. I really enjoyed this recipe!!
