ingredients
Steps
Cook the Pasta
Cook the pasta in a large pot of salted boiling water according to package instructions until al dente. Drain, reserving about 100 ml of the pasta water.
Sauté Vegetables
In a large pan or pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped red onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes until softened. Add the minced garlic, sliced bell pepper, and diced zucchini, then sauté for another 5-7 minutes until the vegetables are slightly tender.
Prepare the Sauce
Pour in the canned chopped tomatoes and vegetable broth. Season with oregano, basil, salt, and pepper. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low and simmer for 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld. Stir in the halved cherry tomatoes and oat cream, then add the fresh spinach and cook until it wilts (about 2 minutes).
Combine and Serve
Add the drained pasta to the sauce and toss well to combine. If the sauce is too thick, add a splash of the reserved pasta water. Serve immediately, garnished with fresh basil or vegan parmesan.
Extra Tips
► Don't overcook the pasta; keep it al dente so it can better absorb the sauce's flavors.
► If you like a bit of spice, add a pinch of chili flakes when sautéing the onion.
► Before serving, sprinkle with fresh basil leaves or vegan parmesan for an even richer flavor.
