Ingredients

2 servings

•

2 cups fusilli pasta
•

2 cloves garlic, minced
•

⅙ white onion, finely diced
•

2 tablespoons olive oil
•

2 tablespoons tomato paste
•

3 tablespoons vodka

•

½ cup milk or milk alternative
•

1 ½ teaspoons nutritional yeast
•

½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
•

¼ teaspoon white miso paste
•

½ teaspoon sugar
•

½ teaspoon chili flakes, optional

Instructions

Cook the fusilli according to package directions. Save 1 cup of the pasta water. Set aside and rinse the pot.
On medium heat, add the olive oil. Then, add the onion and cook until soft, stirring frequently. Add the garlic and cook until lightly browned, stirring constantly.
Continue stirring constantly and add in the tomato paste, cooking until slightly darkened and fragrant.
Add in a few tablespoons of the pasta water and stir until the mixture is slightly thinned; stir in the sugar, pepper and miso paste and turn the heat down low.
Stir in the vodka and allow most of it evaporate before adding ½ cup of the alternative milk. Stir in the nutritional yeast and chili flakes before adding more pasta water to thin the sauce as necessary.
Stir in the pasta and serve plain or with some vegan parmesan (e.g. VioLife) and more pepper!
