    Ingredients

    • 2½ cups (154.8 g) 8 oz rotini pasta (*use gluten-free pasta)
    • ¾ cup (72 g) mushrooms, chopped small
    • ¾ cup (96 g) shredded carrots
    • ½ cup (41 g) minced eggplant
    • 2 cups (510 g) 18 oz vegan marinara sauce or Mushroom Red Pepper Pasta Sauce (page 85)
    • 2 cups (488 ml) plain nondairy milk, unsweetened
    • 1 tablespoon 15 ml vodka optional
    • 2 teaspoons tomato paste
    • 2 teaspoons nutritional yeast
    • 1 teaspoon basil
    • ½ teaspoon (0.5 teaspoon) oregano
    • ¼ teaspoon (0.25 teaspoon) pepper flakes
    • ⅛ teaspoon (0.13 teaspoon) onion powder
    • Salt to taste

    Instructions

    • Add everything but the salt to a deep skillet and push the pasta underneath the liquid. Bring to a boil, then turn the heat down to medium-low and simmer until the pasta is al dente, about 10 minutes.
    • Stir every few minutes so everything doesn’t stick to the bottom of the pan. Cook for about 9 minutes or until the pasta is tender. The timing will vary depending on the shape and kind of pasta you use. Taste and add salt if needed.

      Regaurding the pasta, 2 and a half cups is not 8 oz.? Wouldn’t that be 20 oz? I’m confused.

        dry 8 oz pasta would be 2.5 cups. Liquid 2.5 cups will be 20 oz.

      This was fantastic! I was so excited when it made a sauce. I think the vodka could definitely be optional and swap lemon or nothing. Thanks for sharing.
