    Creamy Sun-dried Tomato Pasta

    Super creamy Sun-Dried Tomato Pasta Sauce Recipe - next level (vegan) comfort food! Created with only 5 simple ingredients. Perfect with vegan tortellini.

    Creamy Sun-Dried Tomato Pasta - Vegan Tortellini served onto 2 plates with the pan standing next to it on a bright table top

    Don't well all know those eves? Hungry for a more-ish comforting meal, but only a handful of ingredients in the house and no bother to spend much time in the kitchen. Well let me tell you, that's a perfect eve for this super quick & easy, but totally mouth-watering Creamy Sun-Dried Tomato Pasta dish. Great with vegan tortellini (like the ones from Mr Organic I used here) but also amazing with any other type of pasta you have to hand.

    The sun-dried tomato sauce also works beautifully with vegan gnocchi, and if you have any gnocchi leftovers, you can make this Gnocchi Carbonara for dinner the next day.

    Ingredients and Notes

    • any pasta (preferably some small/medium shapes that hold sauce well!)
    • onion
    • garlic
    • a little oil
    • sun-dried tomatoes
    • tomato paste
    • dairy-free cream
    • salt & pepper
    • herbs to garnish

    Equipment

    • 1 large non-stick pan
    • either ready-cooked pasta or a saucepan to cook your pasta in

    Instructions (Step-by-Step)

    First start by preparing your pasta according to packaging instructions.

    The sauce can be created easily in a single pan: start by heating your oil in the pan over high-heat. For best results use a non-stick pan! Add in the chopped onions and cook until translucent - this should take about 2 minutes once the oil is hot. Add in the minced garlic and cook it for a further minute, stirring to ensure it does not burn in the pan.

    Afterwards add in the chopped sun-dried tomatoes. This doesn't need to be a fine chop, I usually just roughly slice them - about 2 tablespoons worth of sun-dried tomatoes.

    Stir in the tomato paste and then reduce the heat to a minimum. Pour in the vegan cream and bring to a simmer over low heat. Allow to simmer for 5 minutes whilst stirring regularly to combine.

    Add in the cooked pasta and season with salt and pepper. Serve hot and garnish with some fresh herbs (totally optional of course). Basil, thyme, rosemary or sage are all a great fit for this dish!

    The pasta is delicious on its own or alongside a slice of freshly baked, fluffy focaccia. Enjoy!

    Where to buy vegan tortellini and ravioli in the UK

    A few years ago I probably would have told you that you'd have to make them from scratch but luckily nowadays there are a whole bunch of brands that create ready-made vegan tortellini for an easy and quick tasty dinner to create at home!

    Here are a few brands/stores that currently stock them:

    • Mr Organic: they do both Porcini and Vegetable Tortellinis, available in store at Coop and online at Ocado, Abel & Cole & The Vegan Kind
    • Tesco: they stock the Wicked Kitchen Spinach & Wild Garlic Ravioli
    • Sainsburys: at Sainsburys you can find vegan Ravioli in the chilled section from a brand called 'Scoiattolo' - in both a Grilled Vegetables and a Chickpeas & Lentils version. They're both Organic also!
