By @Plantyou
Ingredients
1 bell pepper, chopped
1 cup artichoke hearts, quartered or chopped
1½ cups cherry tomatoes, chopped
1 yellow onion, diced
1 head garlic, top sliced off
1 handful spinach, large
1 zucchini, chopped
2 sprigs thyme
½ cup sun dried tomatoes, chopped
1 tbsp tomato paste
olive oil, to taste
salt and pepper, to taste
3 cups farfalle pasta, dry
¼ cup cashew cream, or vegan cream cheese
vegan parmesan, optional, for topping
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 400F. In a casserole dish, add the bell pepper, cherry tomatoes, sun dried tomatoes, onion, garlic, spinach, zucchini, artichoke, tomato paste, fresh thyme, salt, pepper and cream cheese or cashew cream. Drizzle with olive oil, and add a liberal amount of salt and pepper.
Cover the tray with foil, and bake for around 1 hour, until the onions are caramelized and the remaining vegetables are completely soft.
While the tray bakes, cook your pasta according to package directions, reserving a cup of pasta water.
After baking, remove the garlic and when safe to handle, squeeze in the cloves, and add pasta water as needed. Mix until a creamy sauce is formed.
Pour in the pasta and stir. Serve with vegan parmesan and more salt and pepper, as desired.
