Garlic noodles are a classic comfort food, but with this vegan twist, you’ll discover a whole new depth of flavor that’s completely plant-based. With its creamy coconut milk base, rich garlic infusion, and a kick from tamari, this dish will satisfy both vegans and non-vegans alike. Here’s how you can whip up this flavorful delight in just 25 minutes.
Ingredients:
- 8 oz pasta of your choice
- 1 small head garlic, minced or thinly sliced
- ½ bunch green onions, sliced, separating white and green parts
- ½ cup canned coconut milk
- 3 tbsp reduced-sodium tamari or soy sauce
- 1 tsp hoisin sauce (optional)
Directions:
1. Cook the Pasta
Start by cooking your pasta in a large pot of boiling water. Follow the instructions on the package to achieve that perfect al dente texture. Once cooked, drain the pasta and set it aside.
2. Prep Garlic and Onion
While the pasta cooks, prepare your aromatics. Mince or thinly slice the garlic, and slice the green onions, separating the white parts from the green.
3. Cook the Garlic and Onion
In a skillet over medium-high heat, sauté the minced garlic in a splash of water to release its fragrance. If the garlic starts to stick, add a bit more water as needed. Add the white parts of the green onions and continue to sauté for about 3 minutes.
4. Combine
Add the coconut milk and tamari (or soy sauce) to the skillet. Allow the mixture to heat through for a minute before adding the green parts of the green onions. Gently fold in the cooked pasta and toss everything together until evenly coated.
5. Serve
Dish up the pasta while hot. For an extra burst of flavor and texture, garnish your Vegan Garlic Noodles with vegan Parmesan, chili flakes, or extra sliced green onions.
