Ingredients
  

  • 8 ounces pasta your choice, such as penne or rotini
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 large onion thinly sliced
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 cup vegetable broth
  • 1 cup unsweetened almond milk
  • 2 tablespoons nutritional yeast
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch mixed with 2 tablespoons water
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • Fresh parsley chopped (for garnish)

Method
 

  1. Cook the pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
  2. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the sliced onions and cook, stirring occasionally, for about 15-20 minutes until they are caramelized and golden brown.
  3. Add the minced garlic, dried thyme, salt, and black pepper to the skillet. Cook for an additional 2 minutes until fragrant.
  4. Pour in the vegetable broth and almond milk, stirring to combine. Bring the mixture to a simmer.
  5. Stir in the nutritional yeast and soy sauce. Then, add the cornstarch mixture to thicken the sauce, stirring continuously until the sauce is creamy and coats the back of a spoon.
  6. Add the cooked pasta to the skillet, tossing to coat the pasta evenly with the sauce. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until heated through.
  7. Remove from heat and stir in the lemon juice. Serve warm, garnished with fresh parsley.
