Ingredients
- 16 ounce short pasta of choice
- 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
- 4-6 garlic cloves pressed
- 2/3 cup tomato paste
- 1 1/3 cups coconut cream
- 2 teaspoon red pepper flakes or to taste
- 2 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- kosher salt and pepper to taste
- 1/2 cup freshly grated parmesan to serve
- Optional: finely chopped parsley or fresh basil
Instructions
- Cook the pasta in salted water according to package instructions. Just before cooking to al-dente, reserve 1 cup of the pasta water, then drain.
- Meanwhile, heat the oil in a large pan. Add the garlic and tomato paste and cook for about 5 minutes, over medium heat, stirring frequently. The oil will be incorporated into the tomato paste, and as it cooks it will darken in color.
- Add the coconut cream and stir to combine. Season with pepper flakes, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper to your taste.
- Stir in the pasta water and allow the sauce to bubble for a couple of minutes.
- Add the cooked pasta and stir to coat.
- Serve with parmesan cheese and garnish with fresh herbs, if desired.
Cup of Yum
Notes
- A normal serving size of pasta is 2 ounces, which when cooked comes out to about 1/2 a cup.
- I use 16 ounces, which should be about 8 servings. If you double up and have 4 ounces (1 cup), the calories come out to 902 per serving.
- Consider using a healthier pasta option that is high in protein like chickpea or lentil pasta.
- Coconut cream is also high in calories, you may swap it with milk. Sometimes I mix 2% milk with some fat-free cream cheese to make creamy pasta.
