Ingredients
- 7 ounces of uncooked Os, or alphabet pasta, or star pasta
- 16 ounces of tomato sauce (2 smaller cans)
- 3 tablespoons of vegan butter
- 3 tablespoons nutritional yeast
- ½ teaspoons of salt
- 1 ½ teaspoons granulated sugar
- ½ teaspoon of onion powder
Instructions
- In a medium saucepan, cook pasta according to the package instructions. I like using these Os.
- When tender, drain and return to pot. Stir in tomato sauce, vegan butter, nutritional yeast, salt, and onion powder. Taste for seasoning.

Notes
- Adjust the sweetness: Just a little sugar balances the tomato acidity and makes it taste similar to the canned version – but the type you use and how much are entirely adjustable.
- For a thinner sauce: Optionally add some of the pasta cooking water until you achieve your desired consistency.
- For the best sauce: Simmer it for 10-15 minutes before adding the pasta. This isn’t necessary, but it helps bring everything together for a deeper, more complex flavor.
- For a ‘plain’ version: If you don’t want 'cheesiness', omit the nutritional yeast.
