Creamy Roasted Red Pepper Pasta (Dairy-Free / Vegan)

March 15, 2020 by Rachel 41 Comments

In moments of craziness, it’s important that we try and keep some sense of normalcy in our lives. I’ve been trying to create new recipes to try that the whole family can enjoy. Being mindful of the fact that our youngest still needs to avoid dairy, so I’ve had to kick my creativity up several notches!

Getting Creative With Kids

Well, thanks to being super resourceful, the kids and I have discovered one of our newest favorite meals! This recipe for Creamy Roasted Red Pepper Pasta is incredible. Don’t be put off by the idea of roasting red peppers. It’s super simply and a lot faster than imagined. Also? You can double this recipe, freeze half of the sauce, and reheat later if you’re in a pinch!

CREAMY ROASTED RED PEPPER PASTA

I was able to get my kids involved by helping me measure out the dry ingredients, pouring the Ajoyo Almondmilk into a measuring cup, and stirring the combined pasta and sauce at the end. Finding little ways to keep them involved not only makes them feel important during this time, but it also can be considered “math” and “science!”

ROASTED VEGETABLES

Who knows! Maybe by the end of this whole extended Spring break, I’ll want to be a homeschool mom! Ha!

Try this recipe and tell me what you think! It’s so creamy, so cheesy-tasting, but totally dairy-free! If you haven’t picked up nutritional yeast yet, try grabbing some off of Amazon here. It gives all of my dairy-free recipes a cheesy flavor.

Also, if you’re currently in the market for a food processor or blender, I highly recommend a Vitamix! It can do everything and perfectly mixed the wet and dry ingredients with my roasted veggies.

    Okay, this looks INCREDIBLE! I am IN LOVE with the taste of roasted red pepper – we make soups, put it on our burgers, etc. I can only imagine that it would also be delicious with pasta! I’m definitely going to have to give this a try!

    OMGoodness! This sounds so yummy. We are trying to be flexitarian, in that we are greatly reducing, but not totally eliminating our meat and dairy intake. This is perfect for us.

    I realised when I read the recipe that I have eaten roasted red pepper sauce but had never tried it on pasta, and that is such a shame for a dish that looks so delicious and vibrant.
