Vegan Pumpkin Penne image

To give credit where it is due, I based this off another post, Recipe #100336 because it looked delicious but I decided to change some ingredients to make it vegetarian suitable (primarily vegan) and healthier. I would garnish this with real parmesan as shown in the original post, but vegans and the lactose intolerant may like to use Recipe #413778. This would be great with whole wheat pasta or that Ronzoni Smart Taste stuff made from veggies.

Time 45m

Yield 2 , 2 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

1/3 cup chopped onion
1 garlic clove (1/2 tsp minced)
1 tablespoon olive oil
2/3 cup pumpkin puree
1 cup vegetable broth
1/2 cup water
2 tablespoons unsweetened soymilk
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/2 lb penne pasta
3 tablespoons minced fresh flat-leaf parsley

Steps:

  • In a large skillet cook the onion and garlic in the olive oil over moderate heat until soft and translucent.
  • Stir in the pumpkin, broth, water, soymilk, nutmeg, and some salt & pepper to taste.
  • Simmer the sauce, stirring occasionally, for 10 minutes.
  • While the sauce is simmering, boil the penne in salted water until al dente, about 8 minutes.
  • Dain penne well, reserving about 1 cup of the cooking water.
  • Add the penne to the sauce and cook the mixture over moderate heat, stirring and thinning with reserved water if needed, for 5-20minutes or until pasta is well-coated.
  • Stir parsley into pasta and serve with parmesan cheese, as desired.
