Ingredients
- 2 cups dry small shape pasta (I used these mini lasagna type pasta)
- 3 tbsp vegan butter or olive oil
- 1 shallot, minced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/4 cup tomato paste
- 3 tbsp vodka
- generous pinch of salt
- 1/2–1 cup coconut milk (add more as needed to thin it out)
- 1/2 tsp chilli flakes
- 1/2 cup pumpkin puree
- fresh basil for garnish
Instructions
- Boil pasta in salted water according to package directions. Drain and set aside.
- In a large skillet, add the oil and heat on medium-high. Add the shallot and garlic and cook about 3 minutes, stirring frequently.
- Reduce heat to medium. Add the tomato paste, salt, vodka, coconut milk, chilli flakes and pumpkin puree and simmer about 5 minutes until thickened slightly, adding splashed of coconut milk if it starts sticking or getting too thick.
- Add pasta back to skillet and stir to combine. Heat on low-medium. Add fresh basil, if using. Serve and enjoy!
