Gluten Free and Vegan Vodka Pasta
This gluten free and vegan vodka pasta is a delicious and healthier spin on the classic pasta recipe. I love making plant based versions of my favorite recipes. This pasta is creamy and has a great flavor. You can use any pasta you want but I used gluten free chickpea pasta to pack in some extra protein. There’s nothing I love more in the fall than soup and pasta. They’re both so warming and cozy. I need a fireplace that I can curl up in front of and dive into this bowl.
What You Need For This Recipe:
white onion
garlic
diced tomatoes
