Method
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the traditional pasta and cook according to package instructions until al dente. If using zucchini, spiralize the zucchinis and set aside.
- In a skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.
- Add the roasted red peppers to the skillet and cook for another 2-3 minutes, allowing them to heat through.
- Remove the skillet from heat and transfer the garlic and roasted red pepper mixture to a blender. Add the almond milk, nutritional yeast, dried oregano, salt, black pepper, and crushed red pepper flakes (if using). Blend until smooth and creamy.
- If using zucchini noodles, return the skillet to the heat and add the spiralized zucchini. Sauté for about 2-3 minutes until tender. If using traditional pasta, simply drain it and return it to the pot.
- Pour the creamy sauce over the zucchini or pasta and toss to combine until everything is evenly coated.
- Serve immediately, garnished with fresh parsley.
