one pot 30 minutes each two different pasta ideas let's go
(upbeat music playing)
hey y'all welcome to Make It
Dairy Free. I am Larisha and today we are going to be showing you two different one pot pasta
dishes that are both ready in 30 minutes or less pastas are one of the easiest dishes that
you can make and with one pot pasta dishes it's even easier and with the craziness of this year
and the upcoming busyness of the holidays we can all use a few extra easy dishes. Am I right?
both of these can be top eight allergen free so if you are serving someone with allergies
they are perfect for that which brings me to my two quick tips for this video first one is that
if you need to swap this with gluten-free pasta just be mindful that it cooks a little differently
and make sure that you check out the tips in both of the posts if you are making it
with gluten-free pasta and number two one of the biggest mistakes that people make
when cooking one pot pasta dishes is that they use a skillet that is too large and doing that
will make your liquid reduce even faster and we don't want that we want a creamy pasta so
we recommend a 12 inch skillet that has sides that come up on it and then you will be good to go for
these pasta dishes so all right i've done enough talking let's get right into both of the recipes
first up is our easy creamy garlic parmesan pasta this one only needs nine ingredients to make and
almost everything is likely a kitchen staple for you to a large skillet with sides you are going
to add your vegan butter over medium heat and melt that down once melted you are going to add in all
of your garlic yes we are adding an entire bulb garlic lovers unite saute that for a few minutes
making sure to move often so it doesn't burn then you're going to add in your vegetable stock
followed by your coconut milk if you're allergic you can use another dairy free milk we'd suggest
oat because it's creamier than the others add in some salt and pepper and give that a stir around
then you are going to add in your uncooked pasta we are adding fettuccine but honestly any pasta
that cooks to al dente within 8 to 10 minutes will work pastas that take longer would need
more liquid added push the pasta down under the liquid so that it can start to soften moving it
around so that the noodles do not stick to each other bring to a boil once they soften up start
swirling the noodles around again so they don't stick to each other during the cooking process
once boiling reduce heat to a simmer then push them under the liquid as much as possible and
continue to cook for 20 minutes or until the noodles are cooked through during this time
make sure to move the noodles and sauce around so it doesn't stick and all cooks properly once your
noodles are done cooking you are going to add in your vegan parmesan cheese into your pasta
we're using the violife parmesan block here but we also have a homemade version on our site
that we will link below if using the homemade version you can just sprinkle on the top as it
doesn't melt as well then just add in some fresh chopped parsley or you could also do fresh basil
and that's it plate it up and serve it just a quick tip you can totally add in any vegetables
like broccoli asparagus or peas here or you could do sauteed mushrooms chickpeas or vegan
chicken seitan or crispy tofu tons of options to add even more here to make this dish go further
also if you want to kick it up a bit with a spice feel free to add in some
red pepper flakes get creative and let us see what you make by sharing a photo with us
now for our vegan cajun chicken pasta we are going to start with some oil here in a skillet
over medium heat for both recipes we give oil free instructions in the written post then we
are going to mix up our spices which are smoked paprika oregano thyme garlic and onion powder
cayenne salt and pepper then to our skillet we are adding some chopped frozen vegan chicken strips
you could also do some seitan chicken chickpeas or mushrooms depending on your preferences
add in that spice mixture and give this a stir together now this dish is a bit on the spicier
side so if you need to tone it down you can omit or reduce the cayenne once stirred you are going
to add in your onions take your time here and really mix together the onions and spices to
the point where all your onions go from a white to an orange color. Just like Snooki. let these sit for
about two minutes without touching them after that stir them around again and let cook for another
minute or two until the onions are softened then you're going to add in your uncooked pasta we are
adding in penne but again you can do this with any pasta that cooks to al dente within 8 to 10
minutes then some fire roasted tomatoes coconut milk again any other dairy free milk will work
in some vegetable stock once you have everything in your skillet stir together very well and then
add your lid and let it come to a boil before stirring again once it comes to a boil open the
lid and stir together again you're going to stir every few minutes putting the lid back on every
time until the pasta is cooked which should be about 10 to 12 minutes quick tip if your
pasta is cooked but you have excess liquid then remove the lid raise the temperature and cook
for another three to four minutes stirring often until the liquid has evaporated once done add in
some vegan cream cheese and stir together until melted top it with some green onions and that's
it you can serve it up both of these dishes heat up well if you need to meal prep and are great
with vegan garlic bread or garlic knots that we will link in the description below all right
