Ingredients

Scale

Spaghetti

  • 12 oz spaghetti

Sauce

  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 4 garlic cloves, minced
  • 2 cups unsweetened almond milk
  • 2 tbsp nutritional yeast
  • 1 tbsp cornstarch (mixed with 2 tbsp water)
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Cook Spaghetti: Boil water in a large pot and cook 12 oz of spaghetti according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain thoroughly and set aside.
  2. Sauté Garlic: In a skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Add 4 minced garlic cloves and sauté until fragrant and lightly golden, about 1-2 minutes, being careful not to burn the garlic.
  3. Make the Sauce: Pour in 2 cups of unsweetened almond milk and add 2 tablespoons of nutritional yeast to the skillet. Stir to combine and heat gently.
  4. Thicken Sauce: Add a slurry made by mixing 1 tablespoon of cornstarch with 2 tablespoons of water to the almond milk mixture. Stir continuously until the sauce thickens, about 3-5 minutes.
  5. Combine and Season: Toss the cooked spaghetti with the creamy garlic sauce in the skillet to coat evenly. Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
  6. Serve: Plate the creamy vegan garlic spaghetti immediately while hot, optionally garnishing with fresh herbs like parsley or basil for added flavor and color.

Notes

  • For extra richness, add a splash of vegan butter or use a higher-fat plant milk like cashew milk.
  • If you prefer a spicier kick, add a pinch of red pepper flakes while sautéing the garlic.
  • Ensure to mix the cornstarch with water before adding to avoid lumps.
  • Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • Reheat gently on the stove or in the microwave with a splash of almond milk to loosen the sauce.
