Spaghetti in Creamy Tomato Sauce
with Pesto
Instructions
1 Prep
Peel and finely chop the shallots and garlic.
2 Fry
Heat a drizzle of olive oil in a pan over a medium-low heat. Once hot, add the shallots with a pinch of salt. Cook for 3 min. Add the garlic and cook for 1 min further.
3 Simmer
Add the tomato passata, measured water, crumbled stock cube, dried oregano, red vinegar and agave syrup. Cover and simmer for 10 min.
4 Boil pasta
Meanwhile, bring a large pot of salted water to the boil. Once boiling, add the spaghetti and cook for 10-12 min until 'al dente' or until cooked to your liking. Drain.
5 Blitz pesto
Meanwhile, roughly chop the cashew nuts and basil, including the stalks. Add the cashew nuts, basil, nutritional yeast, salt, pepper, olive oil and garlic powder to a food processor. Blitz until smooth.
6 Serve
Add the vegan cream cheese to the tomato sauce and cook for 1 final min. Toss the drained spaghetti in the tomato sauce. Divide among plates and drizzle with the basil pesto.
Tips for fussy eaters
Serve the pesto on the side, rather than drizzling it straight over.
Pro tip
Cook the shallots over a very low heat so they don't burn. The longer, the better!
