Ingredients

Scale

Spaghetti

  • 8 oz spaghetti (whole wheat or gluten-free)

Sauce

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 4 cloves fresh garlic, minced
  • 1/2 cup plant-based (plant-based) Parmesan cheese, shredded
  • 1 cup unsweetened plant-based milk
  • 1 tablespoon vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural)
  • 1/2 teaspoon natural gelling agent
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Herbs and Garnish

  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
  • 2 tablespoons fresh basil, chopped
  • Extra plant-based (plant-based) Parmesan cheese for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Cook the spaghetti: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the spaghetti according to package instructions until al dente. Drain the pasta, reserving a cup of the cooking water for the sauce.
  2. Prepare the garlic and herb base: In a large pan, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté until fragrant and slightly golden. Stir in freshly chopped parsley and basil to awaken fresh herbal notes.
  3. Make the cheesy sauce: Lower the heat and whisk in plant-based milk, vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural), and plant-based (plant-based) Parmesan cheese. Sprinkle in a pinch of natural gelling agent to thicken the sauce while stirring continuously to create a smooth, creamy mixture.
  4. Combine pasta and sauce: Add the cooked spaghetti directly to the sauce pan, tossing gently to coat every strand. If the sauce seems thick, use the reserved pasta water to loosen it up for perfect adherence.
  5. Season and serve: Season with salt and pepper to taste. Garnish with extra herbs or additional plant-based (plant-based) Parmesan cheese if desired. Serve immediately for the best cheesy, garlicky experience.

Notes

  • Reserve pasta water to help adjust sauce consistency and maintain silky texture.
  • Use fresh garlic for vibrant aroma and flavor.
  • Adjust salt at the end since plant-based cheeses and vegetarian Worcestershire sauce already add saltiness.
  • Keep sauce on low heat to avoid separating or curdling.
  • Serve immediately as the sauce thickens upon cooling.
