Vegan Pepperoni Pasta

I am always on the lookout for a 30-minute-or-less pasta dinner that everyone at the table will be excited about eating. This vegan pepperoni pasta is one of those recipes.

Key Ingredients

Vegan butter

Crushed fennel seeds

Chopped pepperoni

Tomato paste

Pasta water

Spinach thawed

After cooking your pasta, rinse with cold water and set aside. Then, heat butter in a large skillet.

Once the butter is hot and melted, add the garlic, onion, fennel seeds, pepper flakes, and pepperoni and toss well. Cook over medium heat until the onion, garlic and pepperoni are golden.

Then add in the tomato paste, zest, spinach, and ¼ teaspoon salt and mix in.

Pour in some of the pasta water and half the vegan parmesan and mix in, then bring to a boil.

Add basil and the pasta and toss well then take off the heat.

Taste and adjust salt and flavor and then top it with the rest of the vegan parmesan and pine nuts if using. Cover and let it sit for 2-3 minutes for the parmesan to kind of soften a little, then serve immediately.
