Ingredients

Scale

Spaghetti and Pasta

  • 8 oz durum wheat spaghetti

Sauce Ingredients

  • 3 cloves garlic, freshly minced
  • 1 cup plant-based cheese (shredded)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural)
  • 1 cup plant-based milk
  • 1 teaspoon natural gelling agent

Seasoning and Garnish

  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped

Instructions

  1. Cook the Spaghetti: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the spaghetti according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain, reserving a bit of pasta water for later, and set aside.
  2. Sauté the Garlic: In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat and add the minced garlic. Stir frequently, cooking until fragrant and lightly golden, about 1 to 2 minutes, being careful not to burn it.
  3. Prepare the Creamy Cheese Sauce: Lower the heat and whisk in the plant-based milk along with the natural gelling agent until well combined. Slowly add the plant-based cheese and vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural), stirring constantly until the mixture thickens and turns silky.
  4. Combine Pasta and Sauce: Add the cooked spaghetti to the skillet with the sauce, tossing well to coat. If the mixture feels too thick, add reserved pasta water a tablespoon at a time until you reach your desired creaminess.
  5. Season and Garnish: Season the pasta with salt and pepper to taste, then sprinkle chopped fresh parsley on top before serving to add a fresh, vibrant finish.

Notes

  • Choose quality plant-based cheese to ensure smooth melting and rich flavor.
  • Use fresh garlic for the best aroma and taste.
  • Reserve pasta water to loosen sauce without diluting flavor.
  • Keep the heat low when adding cheese to avoid clumping.
  • Cook pasta just until al dente to maintain perfect texture and avoid mushiness.
