INGREDIENTS

  • 1 c broccoli (chopped)
  • 1 c mushrooms (chopped)
  • 1 yellow bell pepper (chopped)
  • 12 oz roasted red peppers (drained and patted dry)
  • 8 oz rotini (or other short pasta, cooked)
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tbsp vegan butter
  • 4 cloves garlic (minced)
  • 2 tbsp tomato paste
  • Roasted red peppers (see the 'roasted veggies' step below)
  • 1 cup non-dairy milk
  • 2 tbsp nutritional yeast
  • 2 tsp Italian seasoning
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • 2 tsp garlic powder
  • 2 tsp soy sauce (sub: coconut aminos if gluten-free)
  • 1 tsp rice wine vinegar
  • 2 tsp maple syrup
  • 1/2 lemon juice
  • 1 tsp salt and pepper (to taste)

INSTRUCTIONS

  • Preheat oven to 375 F.
  • Spray a baking pan with non-stick spray, and spread the broccoli, mushrooms, and bell pepper in single layer. Toss with salt, pepper, and olive oil. Push the veggies to one side of the baking pan.
  • Now, add the roasted red peppers to the other side. Sprinkle with salt and pepper.
  • Cook in the oven for 35-40 minutes, flipping halfway through.
  • Remove the roasted red peppers from the oven, and allow them to cool slightly.
  • Place all of the roasted red pepper sauce ingredients in a food processor and blend until smooth.
  • Place the olive oil and butter in a sauce pan over medium heat.
  • Once the butter is melted, add the garlic and cook for 1 minute, until fragrant.
  • Scoop the tomato paste into the pan and cook for another 1-2 minutes, using your spoon to break up the paste and cook it a bit.
  • Pour in the roasted red pepper sauce. Stir the sauce so it's smooth, and bring to a simmer, about 2-3 minutes. The sauce will thicken.
  • Add in the cooked rotini pasta and toss until it's coated in the sauce.
  • Finally, add the roasted veggies and give it a quick stir to incorporate the pasta, sauce, and veggies together.
