Ingredients
  

  • 3 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 cup yellow onion finely chopped
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 tbsp garlic minced
  • 5 oz tomato paste
  • 1/4 cup vodka
  • 5 oz full-fat, unsweetened coconut milk
  • 2 tbsp nutritional yeast
  • 1 lb penne pasta
  • fresh torn basil optional

Instructions
 

  • Heat a large, deep-sided skillet. When hot, add the olive oil and heat until shimmering.
    Add the onion and salt and reduce the heat to medium-low. Sauté the onion until it
    becomes golden brown, 12 to 15 minutes. Add the garlic and continue to sauté for 1 to
    2 minutes.
  • Add the tomato paste and increase the heat to medium. Sauté the tomato paste until it
    becomes dark red, 2 to 3 minutes.
  • Remove the sauce from the heat and add the vodka, coconut milk and nutritional yeast.
    Stir until combined and return the pan to the burner. Bring to a simmer and allow the
    vodka to cook off, about 30 minutes.
  • Cook the pasta in accordance with the package directions. Reserve 1 cup (240 ml) of
    pasta water. If the sauce becomes too thick, add the pasta water ¼ cup (60 ml) at a time.
  • Add the cooked pasta directly into the finished sauce and stir to coat. Season with fresh
    basil, if desired.
