Creamy Tomato Hemp Pasta
Ingredients
- 1 large onion, diced
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/2 tsp dried oregano
- 1 tsp dried basil
- 1 tsp Italian herbs, or to taste
- 1 14-oz can diced tomatoes (or 600g fresh tomatoes), pureed in a blender
- 1 1/2 cups (360ml) water
- 8 oz (227g) dry pasta
Hemp parmesan
- 1/3 cup (50g) hemp seeds
- 3 tbsp (20g) nutritional yeast
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp onion powder
- 1/2 tsp red pepper flakes
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp pepper
Preparation
In a large pot, heat some oil or water and saute the onion and garlic for 5 minutes.
Add in herbs and stir well.
Once fragrant, stir in tomatoes, water, and pasta.
Bring to a simmer and cover the pot.
Cook for 10-15 minutes, or until the pasta is cooked to your desired texture. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
While the pasta is cooking, blend all the hemp parmesan ingredients in a food processor into a sand-like mixture.
Once the pasta is cooked through, stir the mixture into the pasta and serve warm.
Instant pot method
Follow all the above steps, but cook for 6-7 minutes on manual mode.
Do a quick pressure release, stir in the hemp parmesan, and serve.
