VEGAN PENNE PUTTANESCA

Steps:

• Heat oil in a large, deep pan over medium heat. Add the garlic and onions and sauté until they begin to soften and become fragrant.
• Add the rest of the chopped vegetables, toss and sauté for 5 minutes, stirring often.
• Add the diced tomatoes, tomato sauce and seasonings. Stir until everything is evenly combined.
• Bring the sauce to a boil, then turn down the heat and let it simmer, uncovered, for 20 minutes or until the vegetables are tender and the liquids have cooked down.
• While it's simmering, bring a pot of water to a boil and cook the penne until al dente.
• Drain and toss with some olive oil.
• When the sauce is done, pour it into the pot with the penne and toss.
• Spoon onto large plates and top with a few capers.

VEGAN PUTTANESCA SAUCE

Steps:

• Before you start the sauce, set a large pot of water on the stove and bring to a boil so you can cook your pasta (according to package directions) at the same time you're working on your sauce.
• Set a large sauté pan over low heat. When hot, add the olive oil. When the olive oil is hot, add the garlic and oregano. Cook, stirring frequently, until the garlic is just starting to turn golden (but not brown, this will make it bitter) - 2-3 minutes.
• Add the tomatoes, salt and pepper. Increase heat to medium and cook, stirring occasionally, until the tomatoes have cooked down and the liquid has mostly dissipated, about 10 minutes.
• Reduce heat to low and add olives, capers, soy sauce or tamari, and red pepper flakes. Cook, stirring, for another minute until the olives are heated through. Taste and add more salt, pepper, or red pepper flakes if desired.
• Drain pasta and add pasta to the pan along with the sauce. Toss well until evenly distributed.
• Scoop into bowls or onto plates, sprinkle with fresh parsley if desired, and serve.
