A new twist on pasta sauce, but without garlic? All you need is charred peppers, steamed veggies all seasoned with miso and a little coconut cream to make this Italian-like meal. It’s a bowl of fresh veggies turned into comfort food. An easy, healthy vegan recipe that can be on the table in less than 30 minutes. This is a low-cal, low-fat recipe and by replacing the pasta with zucchini noodles can also be low carb. Another wonderful gluten-free fall recipe to add to your recipe box!

    • Instructions

  • In a large pot whisk together water and miso paste. Add pumpkin, onions and carrots. Do not stir. Cover and cook over medium heat for 15 minutes
  • While the veggies are steaming, turn your oven broiler on. Place peppers on a baking sheet and lightly brush with melted coconut oil. Broil until the peppers are charred, about a minute per side. Keep a close eye on this because they can burn very easily
  • Place veggies with miso, charred peppers, thyme, black pepper, nutmeg, cayenne pepper and coconut cream into a food processor and blend until creamy. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Set aside until ready to use
  • Cook pasta per package directions and drain, do not rinse. Pour the sauce over and gently stir to evenly coat. Serve hot with your favourite toppings
