Anyone got an interesting pasta recipe that does not require animal products ?

My favorite recipe:





Penne Vodka From Veganomicon.





2 tsp olive oil


4 cloves minced garlic


1/4 tsp crushed red pepper


28-ounce can crushed tomatoes


1/4 cup vodka


1/4 tsp dried thyme


1/4 tsp dried oregano


1/2 tsp salt


a few dashes fresh black pepper


1/2 cup sliced or slivered almonds


1/4 cup finely chopped fresh basil, plus a little extra for garnish


1/2 pound penne





Bring a pot of water to boil for the pasta. Preheat a saucepan over medium/low heat. Add the oil, garlic and crushed red pepper to the saucepan and saute for about a minute, until fragrant, being careful not to burn. Add the crushed red tomatoes, vodka, thyme, oregano, salt and black pepper. Cover, and turn the heat up a bit to bring to a simmer for about 20 minutes, stirring occasionally. Meanwhile, add the pasta to the water and cook according to package directions.





Once the sauce has simmered for 20 minutes, add the almonds. Use an immersion blender to blend the almonds into the sauce until creamy and only slightly grainy. The pasta should be done by now, so drain and set aside. Add the basil to the sauce, and mix the sauce and pasta together in the pot. Serve, garnished with a little extra chopped basil.





Note: I found the blender to work best for blending the almonds.Anyone got an interesting pasta recipe that does not require animal products ?

Enjoy!
Just make a sauce with diced tomatoes, sauteed onions and garlic, olives and fresh basil, then finish with extra virgin olive oil.

No, all interesting pasta dishes are complete with meat sauce or chicken. The animals were put on this Earth for us to eat. Enjoy.
