Before you start
Medium pan
First, make the sauce
- Warm some olive oil in a pan and add the onion, chilli, garlic and coriander stalks
- Stir everything around in the pan for 2-3 minutes to soften them slightly
- Add the spices to the pan and stir them into the vegetables so they’re well covered
- Add the peppers and stir well
- Pour the plant-based milk in to the pan and warm it so very small bubbles are appearing at the edges of the pan
Then, add the pasta
- Add the pasta to the pan and fold it into the rest of the ingredients, cook the pasta for 8 minutes so it’s almost ready (still al dente)
- Add the Dairy Free Cheese and the Black Beans to pan and fold them into the pasta so they’re well mixed through
Serve and enjoy!
- Sprinkle the coriander leaves into the pan, fold them into the pasta and serve
- Place half a fanned Avocado on top of the pasta, sprinkle some on some chilli flakes and squeeze over some lime juice
