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.
