The easiest creamy pasta you’ll ever make—all in one pan! No boiling, no draining, no complicated steps. Just toss everything in a skillet, cover, and let it cook into a rich, velvety tomato-cream sauce with tender pasta and fresh spinach. A perfect weeknight dinner that’s completely plant-based and incredibly satisfying.
Ingredients:
- 200 g pappardelle pasta (4 dry nests)
- 2 cups cherry tomatoes (cut in half)
- 1/2 red onion (diced)
- 2 cloves garlic (minced)
- 1 handful baby spinach (heaping)
- 2 cups vegetable broth
- 4 tbsp tomato pasta (heaping)
- 1 cup plant-based cream (soy, coconut, cashew, or sunflower)
Ingredients are subject to availability at local stores. Unavailable items will be automatically substituted at best-effort.
Directions
- In a large deep skillet, add all the ingredients: 200g pappardelle pasta (or 4 dry nests), 2 cups halved cherry tomatoes, ½ diced red onion, 2 minced garlic cloves, 1 heaping handful of chopped spinach, 2 cups vegetable broth, 4 heaping tablespoons of tomato paste, and 1 cup plant-based cream (soy, coconut, cashew, or sunflower).
- Set the heat to medium and cover the skillet. Cook for 4-5 minutes, until the pasta has softened slightly.
- Uncover and stir everything together until well combined. Cover again and cook for an additional 5-7 minutes, stirring once halfway through, until the pasta is al dente and the sauce has thickened.
- Serve immediately, garnished with freshly chopped parsley and vegan parmesan if desired. Enjoy!
