Ingredients

Scale

Base Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 4 cloves fresh garlic, minced
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 4 cups ripe tomatoes, chopped
  • 1 teaspoon vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural)
  • Salt, to taste
  • Freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Creamy Sauce

  • 1 cup plant-based cream
  • 1 teaspoon natural gelling agent

Herbs and Garnishes

  • 1/4 cup fresh basil, chopped
  • 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped
  • Grated plant-based cheese (optional)

Pasta

  • 12 ounces pasta of choice (gluten-free if preferred)

Instructions

  1. Prep Fresh Ingredients: Wash and chop ripe tomatoes. Peel and mince garlic cloves. Finely dice the onion. Chop basil and parsley so they are ready to add later.
  2. Sauté Aromatics: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add chopped onions and cook until translucent, about 4-5 minutes. Add minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant to build a flavorful base.
  3. Build the Tomato Sauce: Stir in chopped tomatoes, vegetarian Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper. Reduce heat slightly and simmer gently for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally until tomatoes break down and the sauce becomes juicy.
  4. Add Plant-Based Cream and Natural Gelling Agent: Lower heat to low. Slowly stir in the plant-based cream and natural gelling agent, mixing continuously until the sauce thickens to a rich and smooth texture.
  5. Cook Pasta: Cook your chosen pasta in boiling salted water according to package instructions until al dente. Drain pasta, reserving a cup of pasta water to adjust sauce consistency if needed.
  6. Combine Pasta and Sauce: Toss the cooked pasta into the creamy tomato sauce. Fold in chopped fresh basil and parsley. If the sauce is too thick, use reserved pasta water to loosen it. Heat together for another minute to meld the flavors.
  7. Garnish and Serve: Serve warm, sprinkled with grated plant-based cheese if desired, and an extra handful of fresh herbs for aroma and color.

Notes

  • Use mild plant-based cheese to add creaminess without overwhelming the herbs.
  • Choose ripe, juicy tomatoes for natural sweetness and best flavor.
  • Adjust natural gelling agent quantity to control sauce thickness according to your preference.
  • Add fresh herbs just before serving to keep vibrant color and taste.
  • Reserve pasta water when draining to help maintain sauce consistency and prevent sticking.
