Known as a heart attack on a plate, this pasta and sauce has become a bit passé. No one really goes for it anymore because we know what we know. But wouldn’t it be nice to indulge in a pasta with a rich creamy sauce now and again? My plant-based version of this iconic dish could be just the thing for you.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup pine nuts
  • 1 tablespoon sweet white miso
  • 2 teaspoons

Method

To make this sauce, place pine nuts and miso in a food processor. Slowly add all the liquid ingredients, except water, until well-blended. Add water in small amounts to adjust the consistency. It should be a gently sweet, mild taste, but thick, so do not add too much water. Transfer to a sauce pan and warm gently for about 1 minute, just to cook the miso and oil, but not enough to turn the vine
