The Best Garlic + Onion White Wine Pasta Sauce

Hi, my name is Maria and I’m addicted to pasta. I could eat pasta every day and if I’m being honest some weeks I get pretty close. Don’t get me wrong, I’ll eat a few heads of kale for lunch, but when my body wants carbs, glorious carbs, I go for it. So if you’re ready to go for it, this garlic and onion white wine spaghetti sauce is the best thing since sliced bread.

Buzz Word of The Day: Gluten Free

“Gluten Free” has become a bit of a buzzword, along with sugar-free and dairy-free. Unfortunately, some brands have jumped on the bandwagon only to offer products free of one thing but full of everything else which is not good for you. When reading labels friends, please don’t be blinded by fancy packaging and always read the ingredients! For this recipe I used Cali’flour Foods pasta and get ready for it, there are only TWO ingredients:

1. Cauliflower
2. Lentils

You read that right! This pasta is not only good for you because it’s full of protein and nutrients, but actually tastes like pasta is supposed to taste. Now you can get all your carby craving fix and feel good about it too (as you always should).

What are the benefits of lentils?

Did you know Canada supplies a lot of the world with a pulse? Lentils make up a big portion of that and they are a super easy and inexpensive way to get a wide range of nutrients. They are packed with vitamin B, magnesium, zinc, and potassium and are actually made up of 25% protein. They are also high in folate and iron, which is great news for anyone who eats a mostly plant-based diet. So you can enjoy this pasta dish guilt-free knowing you are getting:

• Vitamin B6: 18% of the RDI
• Folate: 90% of the RDI
• Iron: 37% of the RDI
• Magnesium: 18% of the RDI
• Phosphorous: 36% of the RDI
• Potassium: 21% of the RDI
• Zinc: 17% of the RDI
• Copper: 25% of the RDI
• Manganese: 49% of the RDI

My relationship with pasta is a long and strong one. It’s such a versatile food that can be eaten hot, cold, and all year long. I’ve cooked it up many times and paired it with lots of different sauces. This garlic and onion white wine pasta sauce is super easy to make and a nice switch up from a more traditional tomato-based sauce. For some other pasta inspiration be sure to try:

Ingredients

Scale 1x2x3x

For the sauce:

• 3 clove garlic, crushed or finely chopped
• 1/3 cup dry white wine
• 1 tsp. vegetable stock paste

Instructions

Bring a large pot and a medium pot of water to a boil and salt generously.

Heat a large pan on medium heat. Once hot, add olive oil and onion.  Cook for 5 minutes or until translucent, stirring often.  Add your garlic and cook for 2 minutes before adding wine. It may flame, but only for a second.  Stir and wait till the liquid reduces.  Add your vegetable stock paste and stir.

Add your corn starch and whisk.  Now add almond milk and coconut cream and whisk again. It will start clumpy but it is normal. Just keep stirring till well combined.  Transfer to a high speed blender and add seasoning (salt and pepper), chilli flakes, nutritional and a dash of lemon. Blend on high for 1-2 minutes or until creamy an smooth.

Add asparagus to water and cook for around 5 minutes or until medium-soft.  Strain and shock in a ice water bowl to avoid cooking them any longer. Remove from water after 3-4 minutes and set aside.

Transfer your sauce back into the pan and bring to a low simmer.  The sauce will continue to thicken from the heat so if it becomes to thick just add a bit more almond milk and whisk.

Add pasta to boiling water and cook according to package instructions – I used Cali-Flour Pasta!

Strain and drain your pasta and add it to the sauce!  Top with your asparagus, drizzling of olive oil, some lemon, chilli flakes, fresh parsley and salt!

Best when enjoyed hot!  Also great with garlic bread!
