Ingredients

  

• 1 (16 oz) package pasta of your choice
• 2 tbsp (30 ml) olive oil, divided
• 1 white onion chopped
• 1 (14-16 oz) package vegan ground sausage, defrosted
• 1 tsp Italian seasoning
• 3 cloves minced garlic (or 1 tbsp jarred)
• 1/4 cup (31 g) all-purpose flour
• 2/3 cup (160 ml) vegetable broth, divided
• 2 cups (480 ml) plain unsweetened rice milk
• 1 cup (113 g) vegan mozzarella cheese
• 1/2 tsp salt, plus more to taste
• 1/4 tsp pepper, plus more to taste
• 3 cups loosely packed kale or spinach
• Crushed red pepper if desired

Instructions

 

• Cook the pasta to al dente according to package instructions. Once done, rinse, drain, and toss in 1 tbsp (15 ml) oil to keep from sticking.
• Heat remaining 1 tbsp (15 ml) oil over medium heat in a large skillet. Add the onion and cook, stirring often, for 5-7 minutes or until translucent.
• Add the sausage and Italian seasoning. Cook until brown (fully cooked), then stir in garlic and cook for 30 seconds to 1 minute, until fragrant.
• Lower the heat to medium-low and sprinkle flour over the sausage. Stir and cook 1 minute, stirring often, to remove flour taste. Add 1/3 cup (80 ml) broth and cook until liquid is almost absorbed.
• Add in the remaining 1/3 cup (80 ml) broth and rice milk. Bring to gentle boil and mix well. Cook for 5-7 minutes, until thickened.
• Slowly add in the cheese and mix until fully melted.
• Add the kale (or spinach) and cover with a lid to steam for about 1 to 2 minutes, until wilted. Remove from heat.
• Add pasta and mix thoroughly.
• Stir in salt and pepper (and add more to taste), top with crushed red pepper (if desired) and enjoy immediately!
