Vegan Cajun Pasta

• 份量: 10 servings
• 總時間: 20 minutes

食材

1 small sweet or yellow onion, quartered and sliced

2-3 medium bell peppers (any color), quartered and sliced

1-3 tsp Cajun seasoning, to taste (see note 1)

1-14.5 oz can fire roasted diced tomatoes (or regular tomatoes)

3 cups vegan chicken or vegetable broth (see note 2)

1 pound pasta of choice (use gluten-free if needed) (see note 3)

4-6 green onions, sliced, white and green parts separated

½ cup - ¾ cup coconut milk / cashew cream / sunflower seed cream, optional

Seitan chicken, vegan sausage, soy curls, or other (see note 4)

步驟

Saute onions

In a large nonstick pot over medium high heat, start sauteing your onion. You can use oil for this or just water or broth if you are oil-free. Saute the onions until they become translucent, about 3-4 minutes.

Cook peppers

Throw in the peppers and half of the cajun seasoning and saute for 2 minutes.

Add tomatoes

Next add the fire roasted tomatoes. Stir well, and cook for 2 minutes.

Add pasta and broth

Now add the pasta and broth.

Cook covered on medium heat

Give it a thorough stir, turn the heat down to medium, and cover. Cook for 6 - 10 minutes, stirring frequently and ensuring there is enough liquid. Add a little only if all the liquid gets soaked up. Every pasta is different, so it’s good to have a little on reserve. Note if you run out liquid again you can just add a little water until there’s just enough to keep the dish moist.

Season

Once the pasta is fully cooked, add the white parts of the green onion and remaining Cajun seasoning. Give it a really good stir, taste it, and adjust any seasonings if needed. If you removed the peppers and onions earlier, add them back now. Let everything come to heat, about 1-2 minutes.

Make it creamy

Pour in the coconut milk / cashew cream / sunflower seed cream, stir well, and add the green parts of the green onion.

Serve

vegan Cajun pasta with a sprinkle of vegan Parmesan (try my vegan Parmesan topping) or more green onions, and if you’d like, serve it with a plant based protein.

Store

Refrigerate leftovers in an airtight container 3-5 days.
