A creamy yet healthy vegan pasta dish? What else could we ask for? Everyone should have this vegan roasted red pepper pasta recipe in their lives.
I revealed several times the secret to a creamy plant-based sauce. If you saw my creamy vegan sauce or my mushroom pasta recipe, you would know that cashews are the stars of the show.
Yeah, we can pretty much consider them as the magic ingredient for a dense dairy-free sauce.
So, I know. Making a roasted red pepper sauce to go with your pasta isn’t the most common.
But believe me, it’s sooo worth it. And aren’t you bored of your traditional tomato pasta anyway?
Oh! and did mention it’s healthy for you?
Did you know that peppers contain more vitamin C than citrus?
By the way, eating one serving of this pasta recipe = twice the required amount of vitamin C a day. Crazy, I know.
Vitamin C (along with all the antioxidants present in peppers) is essentials to fight against viruses that want to attack your organism.
You got it, to vegan roasted red pepper pasta, YES WE SAY! Especially during winter to strengthen your immune system – and falls perfectly with your carb cravings.

In the meantime, cook your pasta according to the package instructions. I recommend you use whole grain pasta for a healthier version.

Once the bell peppers tender, place them in a food processor along with the garlic, the cashews, and 10 ounces water. Mix and adjust quantities of water according to the consistency you’d like.
