What Ingredients Do You Need To Make Garlicky Corn and ‘Tuna’ Pasta [Vegan]
- 8 ounces dry pasta of choice (use GF if needed)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 onion diced
- 4 cloves garlic minced
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon dried basil
- 3/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon dijon mustard, plus more to taste

How To Make Garlicky Corn and ‘Tuna’ Pasta [Vegan]
-
Cook the pasta according to package directions; drain and set aside. Meanwhile, soak the TVP in 1 cup of boiling water for 5 minutes.
-
In a skillet, heat the olive oil and sauté the onion and garlic on medium heat.
-
After 5 minutes, add in the thyme, basil, pepper, dijon mustard, cream cheese, and milk. Whisk the mixture until smooth, then stir in the corn and soaked TVP.
-
Cover the skillet and let simmer for 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking. The consistency should resemble that of a creamy pasta sauce. If needed, add more milk to thin out the sauce.
-
Season with salt and lemon juice to taste. Turn off the heat, stir in the cooked pasta, and serve.
