- While beginning to prepare your sauce, set a pot of water to boil and cook your pasta.
- Chop up your onion and 3 cloves of garlic and place in a saute pan with a bit of water. Saute your garlic and onion for 4-5 minutes or until onions are soft.
- Add your can of coconut milk and stir together with the onion and garlic, allowing them to simmer for 3 minutes. Season with salt and add nutritional yeast to form your creamy sauce base.
- Roughly chop a handful of spinach and add to your creamy sauce along with the peas.
- Remove your vegan alfredo sauce from the heat and add sun-dried tomatoes. Is your sauce too thin? Adding a pinch of arrowroot powder can help to thicken it.
- Drain your black bean pasta and place in a large bowl. Pour your sauce over and stir to combine.
- Enjoy!
