Harissa is a hot chili paste from Northwest African region and has an incredible flavor! It’s filled with garlic, herbs, roasted red pepper and spices that give it a deep, unique flavor. You should use it in some ways , add to soups/stews, serve is as condiment, cook veggies or vegan meats with it and more. For this pasta I pair it with Italian herbs and a cream to make a delicious pasta sauce!

It pairs beautifully with cashew cream or tofu cream and spices. Mushrooms, onion, and bell pepper pepper give this harissa pasta plenty of satisfying textures. And all the pieces cooks in only 1 pan. It’s quick and simple clean up. It’s a plant-forward, weeknight meal that you simply’ll turn to many times.

There’s protein within the wheat pasta in addition to the blended cream. For those who do want additional protein, though, you may top it with some toasted pine nuts or crispy tofu or add some chickpeas to the pasta while cooking.

Ingredients and Substitutions

• oil – To saute. You possibly can water fry, if you happen to don’t need to use oil. Harissa paste does contain oil, nevertheless, so this recipe can be very hard to make oil-free.
• garlic and onion – These bring that good, umami flavor to the sauce.
• mushrooms – Mushrooms add slightly little bit of meaty texture that makes this harissa pasta recipe super satisfying.
• oregano and parsley – Extra herbs for extra flavor!
• dietary yeast – Gives the harissa sauce a mildly cheesy flavor.
• bell peppers – enhanced the harissa flavor. Add other veggies for flavor, and crunch!
• water or stock – This adds moisture to your sauce and is used to cook the pasta all in the identical pot.
• cashew or tofu cream – Select your favorite! To make the cashew cream, mix cashews and water. For the tofu cream, mix tofu with slightly water. Either way, you’re adding protein and creaminess to the harissa pasta sauce.
• vegan parmesan – Boosts that cheesy flavor much more and is an amazing contrast to the warmth of the harissa paste. You’ll add it to the sauce and use more for topping.
• parsley – This brightens up the flavour and is the right ending herb for this creamy, spicy pasta dish.

Suggestions

• Leave all the mushrooms within the pasta or reserve a couple of quarter to a 3rd of them for garnish, if you happen to want this to be more mushroom-forward.
• Use store-bought vegan parmesan or my homemade vegan parmesan recipe for the cheese on this dish.
• Make sure that that you simply press the pasta rather well into the liquid once you add it to the pan and stir it after about 10 minutes of cooking, so the spaghetti doesn’t clump up. You possibly can add one other splash of hot water, if you should, to forestall sticking.
