Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 tablespoons Dairy-free butter
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 3 pieces Garlic cloves, minced
- 12 ounces Dried spaghetti or other pasta
- 1 cup Vegetable broth
- 2 tablespoons Nutritional yeast
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper, freshly ground
Instructions
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil over high heat.
Add the pasta and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Reserve 1/2 cup of pasta water, then drain the pasta and set aside.
In a large skillet over medium heat, add olive oil and 2 tablespoons of dairy-free butter.
Once the butter has melted, add minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant, being careful not to burn the garlic.
Add the vegetable broth and let it simmer for about 3 minutes to slightly reduce.
Stir in the remaining butter, nutritional yeast, salt, and black pepper. Mix until the butter is fully melted and the sauce is well combined.
Add the cooked pasta to the skillet, tossing to coat it with the sauce. If needed, add reserved pasta water a little at a time to reach your desired sauce consistency.
Sprinkle with fresh parsley and toss everything together.
Taste and adjust seasonings if necessary.
Serve immediately, garnished with more parsley if desired.
