Ingredient Notes

Sun Dried Tomatoes: These flavorful tomatoes add incredible flavor to our recipe, don't omit if at all possible.

I can usually find sun dried tomatoes in the produce section near the garlic.

Garlic: If at all possible, use freshly minced garlic and not jarred or pre-peeled or cut garlic to ensure we get the freshest flavors possible.

White Wine: After the onion and garlic are sautéed, I add a splash of white wine and allow it to reduce. This gives us an amazing flavor!

This is a great guide to the best white wines for cooking.

Spices and Herbs: I used fresh basil and Herbs de Provence to give this pasta dish an authentic Italian flavor.

Step by Step Instructions

Start by cooking the pasta according to package instructions.

In a separate pan, sauté the sun dried tomatoes and garlic in the olive oil over medium-low heat. Cook them for about 3 minutes or until the garlic becomes fragrant.

Add the white wine and allow it to reduce for about 5 minutes.

Pour in the vegetable broth, oat milk, herbs, and ¼ cup reserve pasta water. Cook for about 5-10 minutes or until the sauce has thickened.

Stir in the basil, spinach, and cooked pasta.

Recipe Variations

Tuscan Pasta Salad: Simply make this recipe in advance, chill in a covered container in the fridge, and serve cold.

Gluten-Free: This sauce is already free of gluten, so all you need to do is use a gluten-free pasta.

Make it Spicy: Add ½ teaspoon of crushed red pepper flakes when you sauté the garlic and sun dried tomatoes.

Add Extra Protein: You can add 1-2 cooked plant-based Italian sausages to this pasta for some extra protein.

Double the Sauce: If you're looking for extra creaminess, extra flavors, or just extra everything, double the sauce.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long can I store this pasta? This pasta can be stored in the fridge in a covered container for up to four days.

Top Tip: Whenever you're storing hot or warm food, allow the food to cool completely before transferring to the container and covering. This will help reduce/eliminate sogginess by the excess moisture from the steam.

What are some serving recommendations? I typically use this recipe as a main dish but you can use it as a side dish if you prefer.

I also like to serve this savory pasta with twice the sauce and some freshly baked bread to dip in the sauce.
