Vegan Pasta Recipe from Scratch (with Homemade Tomato Sauce!)

I finally did it! I made vegan pasta and sauce completely from scratch. I’ve had the itch for sometime now, but have heard plenty of stories of how pasta-making turns into an all-day nightmare. Ain’t nobody got time for that!

A vegan pasta recipe as simple as it should be!

We decided, instead, to go with the Kitchenaid route*! We already had the unit, and the attachment set isn’t that expensive.

After using, I can honestly say it is completely worth it. I was shocked at how much time it shaved off of the process. Not only does the attachment roll the dough, it kneads along the way! I absolutely recommend for anyone wanting to make homemade pasta dough.

(*Not a paid-link, simply an honest review!)

Fresh ingredients produce a tastier homemade vegan pasta!

Why cook a homemade vegan pasta recipe and top it with store-bought sauce! Adorn that beauty with a flavorful homemade tomato sauce that pairs wonderfully.

I had grown so accustomed to using canned tomatoes for sauces, I was fearful to try anything new. It makes such a difference! Using fresh tomatoes honestly took my partner’s classic recipe to the next level! It hardly takes any more time and is absolutely worth the extra effort.

I also added turmeric powder to the pasta dough not only for its countless health benefits, but for the vibrant yellow hue! Makes for a healthy and visually stunning pasta recipe.

1/2 yellow onion, finely diced

3-5 cloves of garlic (depending on size and preference)

2 tablespoons loosely packed oregano

3 large basil leaves

2 teaspoons sea salt (I used Himalayan pink salt)

1/2 teaspoon ground pepper

1 teaspoon garlic powder

3/4 teaspoon sugar

1 6oz can of organic tomato paste

1 bay leaf

For the Pasta Dough 2 cups semolina flour

3/4 cup whole-wheat flour

3/4 cup + 2 Tbsp warm water

1/2 teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon olive oil

1/4 teaspoon grond turmeric (optional) Instructions Let's start with Sauce Cut small X's into the top of tomatoes Place in boiling water for 45-50 seconds, the skin may begin to peel back already Immediately transfer to ice bath and peel the tomatoes (the skins will remove effortlessly!) Transfer 2 of the now peeled tomatoes to a food processor (or similar blender) and process until smooth Roughly dice the rest of the tomatoes Combine tomatoes into a large crock pot set on "high" Add the onion, garlic, oregano, and basil and gently stir with spatula to incorporate Continue to cook on "high" for 2.5 hours (great time to make pasta!) After waiting, start to incorporate the rest of the sauce ingredients Gently stir with spatula while also gently pressing larger chunks of tomatoes to encourage softening Finish by adding the tomato paste and bay leaf Leave to cook for another 1.5-2.5 hours We prefer to scoop straight from the crock pot, now set on "Warm", straight onto the freshly cooked pasta! The Pasta! Whisk the dry ingredients to quickly incorporate Transfer to a stand-mixer and use the dough hook to work in rest of ingredients Mix on medium for 6-8 minutes, stopping often to scrape down the sides of the bowl If the dough isn't pulling away from the sides, or seems too dry, add a tiny bit more water Dough should be very slightly sticky, and semi-tacky. If it seems too wet, and a tad of flour On the other hand, if it is too firm and un moldable, add a tiny bit of water Allow the dough to sit uncovered for 10-20 minutes Separate dough into 1/4ths and gently coax into the pasta roller on setting "1" Fold dough in half, crosswise, to "knead" as it rolls back together through setting "2" Fold again for roller setting "3" And fold one last time for setting "4" Repeat this folding/rolling technique for each section of dough Run flattened dough through spaghetti cutter I fed mine through a wire-hanger as you quickly realize how long and unmanageable the spaghetti strands become Either boil for 1-3 minutes to eat or let dry uncovered for 12-24 hours Notes Most recipes advise to cook for 5 minutes, but these seem to become way too starchy if cooked very long, keep the cook time short!
