Creamy Sun Dried Tomato Pasta
This Sun Dried Tomato Pasta recipe is tossed in a garlic cream sauce filled with mushrooms, sun dried tomatoes, and chicken. It's gluten free and dairy free but can also be made vegan by omitting the chicken.
Ingredients
- 12 oz gluten free pasta I use Jovial Gluten Free Pasta
Chicken
- 1 tablespoon avocado oil
- 1 pound boneless skinless chicken breast
- ¼ teaspoon pepper
- ¼ teaspoon salt
Sauce
- 2 teaspoon ghee
- 1 cup chopped mushrooms
- ½ cup diced onion
- ½ cup chopped sun dried tomatoes I like to use sun dried tomatoes that are jarred in extra virgin olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic (minced)
- 1 ⅓ cup dairy free milk
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon pepper
- 2 teaspoons nutritional yeast
- 2 teaspoons arrowroot flour
- ¼ cup chopped fresh basil
EQUIPMENT NEEDED
- Sautee pan, pot
Instructions
- Add the avocado oil to a large skillet pan and heat to medium heat
- Cut the chicken into 1 inch cube and sprinkle them with the salt and pepper
- Add the chicken to the pan and cook on medium heat for 6-8 minutes or until cooked through. Then remove it from the pan and set it aside
- Add the pasta to a pot of boiling water and cook according to the package instructions
- To the same pan that you cooked the chicken, add the ghee, chopped mushrooms, diced onions, and sun dried tomatoes. Cook the mushrooms, onions, and sun dried tomatoes for about 5 minutes or until the mushrooms and onions have softened then add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes
- While the mushrooms, sun dried tomatoes, onions, and garlic are cooking, in a small bowl whisk together the dairy free milk, nutritional yeast, arrowroot flour, salt, pepper
- Add the milk mixture to the mushrooms and sun dried tomatoes and let cook on medium low heat until it has thickened. About 5 minutes.
- Add the basil and cooked chicken to the sauce and turn the heat to low
- Drain the cooked pasta (if you plan to store some in the fridge I recommend adding 1 tablespoon of avocado oil to the cooked pasta to prevent it from sticking together when it gets cold) and return it back to the pot
- Pour the sauce over the pasta and stir to combine then serve
Notes
Substitutions
Gluten Free Pasta- You can use whatever type and shape of gluten free pasta that you like
Chicken- You can omit the chicken in this recipe to make this a vegan recipe
Dairy Free Milk- You can use whatever unsweetened dairy free milk that you like
Arrowroot Flour- If you don't have arrowroot flour then you can substitute tapioca flour
Ghee- If you have a dairy allergy you can substitute the ghee for avocado oil
Storing/reheating
Store this pasta in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. If you are planning to store leftovers, I recommend tossing the cooked pasta with a little bit of avocado oil before mixing it with the sauce and chicken so it doesn't stick together.
You can reheat this pasta in the microwave for 2 minutes.
