delicious & rich vegan pasta

If you like tomatoes & basil - this recipe is for you! I've used loads of tomatoes and made the sauce super rich and flavoursome.

Give it a go if you want something quick & satisfying! This is an amazing pre/post workout meal. Recipe below makes 4 portions, so perfect for dinner party too!
I love sun-dried tomatoes! I think they go well with everything to be honest :) As you have guessed from the title this pasta is packed with them. I also used whole-grain pasta, to make this meal healthier as whole-grain products are significantly higher in fiber and nutrients.

you will need:

​🍅 250g whole-grain fusilli
​🍅 1 jar of sun-dried tomatoes
​🍅 1 tin of chopped tomatoes
​🍅 350g of cherry tomatoes
​🍅 4-5 handfulls of fresh basil leaves
​🍅 1.5 large onions
​🍅 6-8 cloves of garlic
​🍅 1 chilli pepper (red)
​🍅 ​chilli flakes
​🍅 300ml dry white wine
​​🍅 few fresh asparagus
​​🍅 2 pinches of sea salt
​​🍅 3-4 pinches of grounded black pepper corns
​​🍅 6 pinches of dry parsley

the recipe

1. Start with chopping onions, chilli and garlic. Then pour all oil from sun-dried tomatoes jar into the large frying pan along with white wine. Heat it up and once oil-wine mixture is bubbling add chopped ingredients & fry on a low heat.

Meanwhile add sun-dried tomatoes, basil, sea salt & parsley to a blender and mix for 60-75 seconds on the highest setting. (This mixture can also be used as a lovely spread, so if you have some spare ingredients, I suggest making more and saving it for later 😋).

2. Now add roughly chopped asparagus & cherry tomatoes (cut in halves) to the onion mix and cook for good 5 minutes constantly stirring.

3. Finally, add sun-dried tomatoes paste, chopped tinned tomatoes, grounded black pepper corns & chilli flakes and cook for 12-15 minutes on the lowest setting.

Meanwhile boil water & cook fusilli pasta for 5-7 minutes (depending how hard/soft you like your pasta). Once cooked, drain fusilli & mix with the sauce. Serve with fresh basil... and wine of course! Enjoy!

few words from me

I hope that you are going to love this recipe. As I mentioned this is perfect pre/post workout meal as well as something you can serve for a lovely weekend dinner.

Next week I am off to Spain, so I hope to come back with some new ideas for the website (and get tanned of course.)

See you later!

With love,
Viktorija
