I've made this 3 times in as many weeks. You wouldn't think a recipe this simple would taste this good!

Woohoo! So glad it's being enjoyed, Femke, thank you ☺️💛

So quick and nice flavor! Added im a few sliced mushrooms,kale, chickpeas and small yellow tomatoes while frying the onion. Used some canned coconut milk instead as did not have soy cooking cream. Very good. Thank you!

Really great for such a quick recipe made with pantry staples, a lifesaver for when I wanted to eat something delicious and couldn't be asked!
I didn't have sambal oelek so used sriracha and it worked just fine.

I think adding coconut cream might not make the pasta taste great?

Heyy Manasa, thanks for your interest in this one! Coconut cream often adds a noticeable coconut flavour, so it may not be the best fit for this sauce. We’d recommend trying an unsweetened soy, almond, cashew, or oat cooking cream if accessible. A homemade creamer (such as pulverized cashews in water), or unsweetened plant-based milk like cashew may also work for a thinner and less creamy sauce 🤗

Delicious pasta recipe! So quick & easy, yum!

Truly divine! I love these super quick recipes. Made it yesterday when I had no time and no energy to cook and we ended up having a Michelin star dinner. 🤩

What can I add for some more protein intake?

Hi hi, Diana! Thanks for your interest in this one ☺️ some ideas are adding crispy tofu, tempeh, chickpeas, or white beans to the pasta. You could also top it with a homemade high-protein plant cheese like our "Simple Vegan Parmesan" or serve it alongside a lentil salad. For an extra boost, you could also swap the regular pasta for a higher-protein pasta made from chickpeas or lentils. Hope you enjoy it❣️

Diana - Aug. 19, 2026, 5:32 p.m.

Oh, thank you so much for your response 😇 I will definitely use your suggestions, especially the “simple vegan Parmesan “ since that I have made it before really easily and it was delicious (gotta love caju) ❤️ have a wonderful day
