Ingredients to Bring the Flavor

To whip up this delightful dish, you’ll need the following ingredients:

12 oz penne pasta
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 medium onion, finely chopped
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 can (15 oz) crushed tomatoes
1 cup full-fat coconut milk (or any plant-based cream)
1/4 cup vodka (optional but recommended for that authentic taste)
1 teaspoon dried oregano
Salt and pepper to taste
Fresh basil or parsley for garnish

Get Cookin’

Now that we’ve got our ingredients lined up, let’s dive into making this saucy goodness.

First, let’s boil a big pot of salted water. Once it’s bubbling, toss in the penne pasta and cook it according to package instructions until al dente.
While the pasta’s cooking, grab a pan and heat up the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until it turns translucent, about 5-7 minutes.
Toss in the minced garlic and cook for another minute until it’s fragrant. You know it’s going to be good!
Pour in the crushed tomatoes, and give it a good stir. Let it simmer for about 10 minutes, and if you’re thinking about adding in the vodka, now’s the time! Just simmer it for a few more minutes to cook off that strong alcohol flavor.
After that, lower the heat and stir in the coconut milk. This is what’s going to make your sauce creamy and rich. Season with oregano, salt, and pepper to your liking.
Once the pasta is done, drain it and add it right into the sauce. Toss it all together until the noodles are fully coated in that creamy goodness.
Serve it up hot, and don’t forget to garnish with some fresh basil or parsley for that pop of color and flavor.

And there you have it! A delicious, creamy vegan vodka pasta dish that will have everybody coming back for seconds. Enjoy your meal, fam!
