Instructions
Cook the Pasta
Boil the pasta according to the package instructions. Drain and set aside.
Sauté the Veggies
In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and cook until translucent. Toss in the garlic and bell pepper, stirring for about 3-4 minutes.
Mix It Up
Pour in the veggie broth, non-dairy milk, and tomato paste. Stir until combined. Add nutritional yeast, paprika, salt, and pepper. Bring to a simmer.
Combine and Cook
Add the cooked pasta to the skillet. Stir well to ensure every macaroni is coated in that saucy goodness. Let it cook for another 5-7 minutes until it thickens a bit.
Top It Off
Serve hot, sprinkled with fresh parsley and a handful of vegan cheese shreds for extra creaminess. If you’re feeling spicy, add some red pepper flakes!
