    Simple Vegan Piquillo Pepper Pasta (GF)

    I eat pasta at least once or twice a week because it's a delicious and satisfying food and you can make so many pasta recipes in 15 or 20 minutes, like this simple vegan Piquillo pepper pasta.

    I use gluten-free pasta made with corn and rice flour because is the only gluten-free pasta I can get easily in Spain, but there are other healthy alternatives.

    I always add oregano and homemade vegan Parmesan cheese on top, but it's not necessary. This cheese is lighter and healthier than original Parmesan cheese and also tastes so good.

    To make the recipe you only need: extra virgin olive oil (feel free to use other oil, but please avoid refined oils), garlic, sun dried tomatoes, Piquillo peppers and tomato sauce. You can also add some sea salt if you want.

    Remove the sun dried tomatoes if you can't find them. I rehydrate the tomatoes soaking them in a bowl with hot water for at least 20 minutes (or until they're ready).

    The Piquillo pepper is a variety of chile, but it has a sweet taste with no heat. It's traditionally grown in Nothern Spain (where I come from). Its name is derived from the Spanish for "little beak". In the picture below you can see some Piquillo peppers. If you can't get them, don't worry, use roasted red peppers instead or sauté julienne bell pepper with oil and chopped garlic.

    The vegan Parmesan cheese is not necessary, but I love it so much. Besides, it's ready in less than 5 minutes and you only need 4 ingredients to make it. In the picture below you can see the pasta with no oregano or cheese, it also looks amazing.

      I've never heard of Piquillo peppers before; I'm so glad they're sweet instead of spicy! 😉 This dish looks delicious. I'm excited to try it in the future!
