Enjoy this Vegan Vodka Pasta, a take on a common menu item in Italian-American restaurants that is surprisingly easy to make at home. Rotini pasta tossed in a luscious tomato vodka sauce, a perfect food. It is one of my favorite weekend dinners, and it tastes amazingly good. It is rich, silky and extra creamy. Plus, it’s totally vegan.
The recipe uses simple ingredients and comes together in minutes. Start out by sautéing the garlic until fragrant in a pan large enough to hold the pasta and sauce. Add the tomato paste and cook for about 5 minutes until the tomato paste is deep red. Then add the vodka and cook until it has evaporated. Next, add the coconut milk and salt and let the sauce simmer. While that’s happening, just boil up some pasta, drain, and add to the pan with the sauce. Divide the pasta among plates and serve with extra olive oil drizzles, a sprinkle of garlic salt, freshly ground black pepper, and red pepper flakes if you wish.
To make the Vegan Vodka Pasta, you will need the following ingredients:
Heat ¼ cup olive oil over low heat. Add 3 minced garlic cloves and sauté until fragrant.
Add 1 (6-ounce) can tomato paste and stir until the tomato paste is deep red.
Add ¼ cup vodka and cook, stirring, until the vodka evaporates.
Stir in 1 (14-ounces) can full-fat coconut milk and 1 teaspoon salt. Let the sauce simmer.
Meanwhile, bring a large pan of water to a boil and cook 1 pound rotini pasta according to package directions until al dente. Remove 1 cup of the pasta cooking water.
Drain the pasta and transfer to the pan with the sauce. Toss to combine. Add a little reserved pasta water to achieve the desired consistency.
Season with a sprinkle of garlic salt, red pepper flakes, freshly ground black pepper, and extra olive oil, and serve immediately.
This Vegan Vodka Pasta is a delicious take on a classic recipe. If you have never made a sauce with vodka, you are in for a treat. Vodka really enhances the taste of tomato sauce, and it's so good. Give this recipe a try, and don’t forget to come back to leave a review!
