How to make garlic noodles

First cook your pasta according the package directions.

While you do this, heat a pot and bring the vegan butter to melt and add minced garlic. Fry it for around 4 minutes on low to medium heat. Stir in the vegan Parmesan and coconut milk until everything is well combined.

By now the pasta should be done. Drain, then give to the pot with the creamy garlic sauce. Mix well with and cook all over medium heat for 2 minutes. Finally season with salt and pepper and serve on plates or in bowls.

Tips and variations for this garlic noodles recipe

White sauce pasta: just increase the amount of coconut milk. Or use a different one, such as cashew milk or almond milk, add a bit of starch or flour and you’re ready to go.

Fettuccine Alfredo: use more nutritional yeast, thicken sauce with flour or starch and serve over fettuccine noodles.

Japanese garlic noodles: swap vegan butter for oil. Sesame oil or olive oil work best. Also add mixed vegetables and tamari sauce, skip the vegan parmesan cheese.
