Ingredients
Scale
- 8 oz (226 g) pasta
- 1 small garlic head, minced or finely sliced
- ½ bunch green onions, divided into white and green parts
- ½ cup (120 ml) canned coconut milk
- 3 tbsps (45 ml) reduced-sodium tamari or soy sauce
- 1 tsp (5 ml) hoisin sauce (optional)
Instructions
- Pasta Preparation: Submerge pasta in a generously salted boiling water, cooking until achieving a perfect al dente consistency. Drain thoroughly and reserve.
- Aromatic Foundation: Transform garlic into fine, uniform fragments while meticulously sectioning green onions into crisp white and verdant green components.
- Flavor Building: Activate a skillet on medium heat, introducing minced garlic and allowing its intense fragrance to permeate the cooking environment. Swiftly incorporate white onion segments, coaxing them into a translucent state through gentle agitation.
- Sauce Integration: Stream coconut milk and tamari sauce into the skillet, creating a luxurious liquid canvas. Gently fold cooked pasta into this velvety mixture, ensuring comprehensive coating and flavor infusion.
- Finishing Flourish: Cascade green onion tops across the noodles, delivering a vibrant freshness. Optional embellishments like vegan Parmesan, chili flakes, or additional green onion slivers can elevate the dish’s complexity and visual appeal.
- Serving Recommendation: Present the noodles immediately while radiating heat, allowing the harmonious blend of flavors to captivate the palate with its robust and aromatic profile.
Notes
- Pasta Perfection: Choose spaghetti or linguine for best texture and sauce absorption.
- Garlic Power: Freshly minced garlic provides maximum flavor; avoid pre-chopped jarred versions.
- Sauce Consistency: Stir constantly to prevent sauce from separating and ensure smooth, creamy coating.
- Quick Serving: Serve immediately to maintain optimal temperature and prevent noodles from becoming soggy.
