Vegan One-Pot Tomato Vodka Pasta

Yield: 4 servings
This Vegan One-Pot Tomato Vodka Pasta is so easy to make, it's creamy, and it's even toddler-approved!
Prep Time: 5 minutes
Cook Time: 25 minutes
Total Time: 30 minutes

Ingredients
 

  • 16 ounces penne pasta
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • ½ onion , chopped
  • 3 garlic cloves , minced
  • 3 cups water
  • 1 (15 ounce) can tomato sauce
  • ¾ cup full-fat coconut milk
  • 2 tablespoons tomato paste
  • 1 teaspoon sugar, I use coconut sugar
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons salt
  • 1 teaspoon dried basil, (or use fresh!)
  • ½ teaspoon dried oregano
  • ¼ cup vodka
  • 1 (15 ounce) can chickpeas , drained and rinsed
  • 1 cup parsley , chopped

Instructions
 

  • In a large pot, saute the onions and garlic in olive oil for about 2 minutes over medium heat. I use pre-minced garlic to save me time!
  • Next, add all of the remaining ingredients except for the vodka, chickpeas, and parsley and stir to combine. Cover it and bring it to a boil.
  • Once it's boiling, lower the heat and simmer for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  • Add the vodka, chickpeas, and parsley. Continue cooking, uncovered, until the pasta is al dente, about 8 more minutes.

Notes

This pasta is best when served right away so that it can maintain its creamy texture. If you are reheating it later, I would suggest adding some olive oil to the pasta after reheating and then mixing it around to achieve a somewhat creamy texture again.
