- 5 Cloves Garlic, chopped
- 2 teaspoons Red pepper flakes
- 1 teaspoon Oregano, dried
- 1/4 Cup Tomato paste
- 1/2 Cup Vegetable broth
- 1/2 Cup White wine, vegan(or more broth)
- 1 Can(15oz) Crushed tomatoes
- 1/3 Cup Fresh Parsley, chopped
- Salt and Pepper to taste
Hearts of Palm "Lobster"
- 2 Jars(14 oz each, 28 oz total) Hearts of palm in brine, drained and sliced
- 1/4 Cup Vegan butter, I used Country crock plant butter
- 4 Cloves Garlic, chopped
- 1 Tablespoon Lemon juice
- 2 teaspoons Old bay seasoning
Instructions
- Cook the pasta according to package directions. Drain when al dente. Then I like to drizzle a little olive oil over the pasta and toss to coat, so it doesn't stick.
- Now, in the pot you cooked the pasta in, heat the olive oil on medium high.
- Add the shallot and garlic, sauté, reducing heat as needed for 1-2 minutes or until the shallot is translucent.
- Add the red pepper and oregano, then stir to combine and let sauté for another minute.
- Then add the tomato paste and stir to combine.
- Pour in the broth and wine. Then let simmer for 2-3 minutes to let the wine reduce slightly.
- Pour in the crushed tomatoes and a pinch of salt. Stir to combine and bring to a simmer.
- Reduce heat to low, cover and let the sauce simmer while you make the hearts of palm.
- In a separate non-stick skillet, heat the vegan butter on medium high.
- Once the butter has melted, add the garlic and hearts of palm.
- Sauté, reducing heat as needed, until the hearts of palm start to brown. About 3-5 minutes.
- Pour in the lemon juice and toss.
- Then sprinkle the old bay over the hearts of palm and continue to sauté for 3-5 minutes or until the hearts of palm are golden brown and tender. Turn the heat off.
- Now, taste the sauce and adjust the seasonings adding more salt and pepper if needed.
- Add the pasta to the pot with the sauce, and toss to coat the pasta in the sauce and cook for another 1-2 minutes or until the pasta has heated back up.
- Pour the hearts of palm and fresh parsley into the pot with the pasta. Then toss everything to fully combine.
- Serve immediately!
