    The best Vegan Creamy Tomato Sauce Recipe

    This vegan creamy tomato pasta has only has 9 ingredients and comes together in less than 20 minutes. The gluten free and dairy free creamy sauce is so easy to make. The combo of roasted garlic, tomato paste and Mala Girl's newest blend Oat Buttermylk results in a tangy, sweet and umami flavor bomb of a sauce! It's so creamy that even naysayers to vegan food will appreciate this recipe! The best part is how quick this weeknight meal comes together. That is why I am declaring that this recipe has the best vegan creamy tomato sauce.

    What is Mala Girl?

    Mala Girl is a small woman owned company that makes powdered sipping broths and soup bases. I have been a longtime fan and partner with the company as I believe in their mission and products. What I like best about Mala Girl Broths is that they deliver big flavor without high sodium content or chemicals. Mala Girl uses adaptogens and in most cases organic ingredients in their blends. This recipe was developed in partnership with Mala Girl to showcase their newest flavor Oat Buttermylk which is both vegan and gluten free. The addition of Oat Buttermylk gives this tomato cream sauce a delicious depth of flavor. To read more about Mala Girl click here.
