Ingredients
  

  • 1 bag Trader Joe's red lentil pasta
  • Florets from 1 head cauliflower
  • 1/4 cup unsweetened nondairy milk
  • 1/4 cup shredded unsweetened coconut optional
  • 1 medium tomato sliced thinly or diced
  • 8 ish medium to large basil leaves julienned
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions
 

  • Boil cauliflower until soft.
  • Drain cauliflower and blend with nondairy milk, garlic powder, salt, and pepper until smooth and hot.
  • Separately, cook pasta until just barely al dente. Do not overcook!
  • Quickly rinse pasta in warm water and drain. (This gets rid of some of the beany flavor, but you can skip this step if you don't care about that.)
  • Pour sauce over just cooked pasta and tomatoes. Top with basil and extra pepper.
  • Eat!
