Sharing this super easy Creamy Tomato Pasta recipe! This pasta is dairy-free, nut-free, and of course, vegan!

HOW TO COOK THIS CREAMY TOMATO PASTA

This recipe uses mostly pantry-staples!

You’ll need just 8 basic ingredients for the pasta, that you probably already have in your pantry or fridge. This is perfect for those days when you’re craving something creamy and comforting but also really simple to make!

OPTIONAL: TOP YOUR PASTA WITH SOME TOASTED BREAD CRUMBS

You can opt to enjoy this with some Toasted Basil Breadcrumbs too, which adds a really nice crunch and texture, but it’s totally optional!

I’m personally a bigger fan of tomato and oil-based pasta but I love having creamy pastas every now and then.

Here’s the pasta topped with the Toasted Basil Breadcrumbs:

    Such a good and easy recipe to do on a weekday when you need to make something fast! I’m definitely adding this to my weekly dinner rotation. I also added a bit of dried basil to mine 😋
