Ingredients
  

  • 5 oz fettuccine uncooked
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 shallot
  • 2 garlic cloves
  • 1/3 cup tomato sauce
  • 1/4 cup pasta cooking water *see note below
  • 1 tablespoon red wine
  • 1/2 tsp Italian seasoning
  • 1 pinch white sugar
  • 1/4 cup Follow Your Heart vegan grated parmesan
  • Garlic salt for serving

Instructions
 

  • Bring a pot of salted water to boil. Boil the fettuccine for 11 - 12 minutes. Reserve 1/4 cup of the cooking water before straining.
  • Combine the tomato sauce, wine, Italian seasoning, and sugar in a bowl or cup and whisk together. Just before straining the pasta, whisk in 1/4 cup of the pasta cooking water.
  • While the pasta is cooking, heat a medium deep skillet over medium heat. Finely chop the shallot and mince the garlic cloves. During the last 5 minutes of the pasta cooking, add the olive oil to the skillet. Swirl to coat, and then add the shallot and garlic. Cook, stirring frequently, for about 4 minutes, until the shallot just starts to show signs of turning golden.
  • Stir the sauce mixture into the shallot/garlic skillet. Cook for one more minute.
  • Remove the skillet from heat. Toss the strained pasta and parmesan in with the sauce. Serve with a dash of garlic salt, if desired.

Notes

*Salty pasta cooking water has more flavor and starch from the pasta than regular water. Adding some into a sauce adds flavor and a slight thickness without watering it down.
