Ingredients
  

  • 8 ounces of pasta your choice, such as penne or rotini
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 large onion thinly sliced
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 cup vegetable broth
  • 1 cup unsweetened almond milk
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons nutritional yeast
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch mixed with 2 tablespoons water
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley for garnish

Method
 

  1. Cook the pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
  2. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the sliced onions and cook, stirring frequently, until they are caramelized and golden brown, about 15-20 minutes.
  3. Add the minced garlic, dried thyme, salt, and black pepper to the skillet. Cook for an additional 2 minutes until fragrant.
  4. Pour in the vegetable broth, almond milk, and soy sauce. Stir well to combine.
  5. Bring the mixture to a simmer and add the nutritional yeast. Stir until well incorporated.
  6. Mix the cornstarch with water to create a slurry, then add it to the skillet. Stir continuously until the sauce thickens, about 2-3 minutes.
  7. Add the cooked pasta to the skillet and toss to coat in the creamy sauce. Cook for an additional 2 minutes to heat through.
  8. Serve hot, garnished with chopped fresh parsley.
