½ tspsea salt

⅛ tspgarlic powder

Instructions

Step 1

To make the vegan parmesan, pulse all ingredients in a food processor until a fine crumb is created- be sure not to over process into a paste. Store leftovers in refrigerator.

Step 2

Start by cooking your pasta, and reserve 1/2 cup pasta water just before draining. Be sure to season your pasta water well with sea salt!

Step 3

To make the pasta sauce, heat a large pan over medium heat. Once hot, add the olive oil and reduce heat to low.

Step 4

Stir in garlic cloves, then stir in crushed tomatoes, Italian seasoning, salt and pepper, and red pepper flakes. Allow to simmer while your pasta cooks over low heat for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Step 5

To your blender, add the heated tomato sauce mixture, avocado, and nutritional yeast and blend until a smooth, creamy sauce is achieved. Add the reserved pasta water as needed to thin the sauce. Mix the sauce with your pasta, again adding reserved pasta water as needed. Serve and enjoy!
