Pasta Sauce

  2. Add the cooked vegetables, sun dried tomatoes, oil, lemon juice, 1 cup of water, Simon’ Secret Sauce, and salt and pepper to taste. Blend on high until smooth and creamy, with no chunks remaining.

Pasta

  1. Boil the linguini to the specified instructions on the box. Make sure to leave them a little underdone so they finish cooking in the pasta sauce.
  2. Once the pasta is cooked, strain and put back into the pan with ÂĽ cup of the leftover pasta water.
  3. Add your pasta sauce to the linguini and simmer for 5-10 minutes until the pasta is fully cooked and everything is combined.
  4. Top your vegan pasta with the finely chopped parsley and black olives and it is ready to eat.

This pasta packs a delicious and flavorful punch and is 100% vegan. When you have the right ingredients, is it easy to get outstanding flavor and still have a very healthy meal. Simon’s Secret Sauce adds the perfect creaminess and flavor that most vegan pastas are missing.
