Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 oz Gluten-Free Spaghetti Noodles of Choice
  • 57 cloves Garlic, minced
  • 1 ½ cups Unsweetened Non-Dairy Milk*
  • 1 tbsp Nutritional Yeast
  • 1 ½ tbsp Brown Rice Flour*
  • 3/4 tsp Salt
  • Black Pepper, to taste
  • Pinch of Red Chili Flakes (Optional)
  • Juice of 1/2 a Lemon
  • Fresh Basil, to top (Optional)

Instructions

  1. First, begin to prepare your Spaghetti in a separate pot, according to package instructions. Once they have finished cooking you can drain them, but do not rinse them.
  2. In the meantime, work on the Garlic Cream Sauce. Add the minced garlic to a large pan with a slight rim and sauté in Water or Oil for 5 minutes over Medium heat, until translucent.
  3. Carefully pour the Non-Dairy milk into the pan and add in the Nutritional Yeast, Flour, Salt, Pepper, and a pinch of Red Chili Flakes if you are using them. Quickly mix the mixture together until everything is well incorporated.
  4. Bring the mixture to a boil over high heat, then reduce the heat to Medium and Simmer for 5-7 minutes, or until the sauce thickens. Make sure to frequently stir the sauce so nothing sticks to the bottom of the pan!
  5. Once the Sauce has thickened, stir in the Lemon Juice. Then, add the cooked Noodles to the pan and use tongs to gently mix everything together until well-coated.
  6. Top with Fresh Basil or serve as desired.

Notes

  • I used an Unsweetened Almond & Cashew Milk Blend for this recipe, but you can use anything you’d like. I think Cashew Milk, Soy Milk, and Coconut Milk would work best here!
  • Brown Rice Flour can be substituted with a Gluten-Free All-Purpose Blend, Cornstarch, or All-Purpose Flour if you are not GF.
