Make this easy soupy pasta with sun-dried tomatoes, spring greens, and oat milk. A cozy one-pot vegan dinner ready in under 45 minutes.

Ingredients

  • 250 g jar sun-dried tomatoes oil reserved
  • 1 onion finely chopped
  • 5 garlic cloves minced
  • 1 red chili seeds removed & finely chopped
  • 1 tsp dried oregano
  • 1 L vegetable stock
  • 225 g dried pasta small shapes like ditalini, orecchiette, or macaroni work best
  • 150 g spring greens finely chopped
  • 500 ml oat milk
  • Sea salt & freshly ground black pepper to taste

For Serving:

  • Chopped fresh basil and parsley
  • Vegan parmesan
  • Lemon zest

Instructions

Step 1: Sauté the Aromatics

  • Pour a few tablespoons of oil from the jar of sun-dried tomatoes into a large pan. Set it over medium heat.
  • Add the chopped onion and a pinch of salt. Cook for 8–10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the onion is soft and translucent.
  • Next, stir in the minced garlic and chopped chili. Sauté for another minute just to soften the garlic—don’t let it brown.

Step 2: Add the Tomatoes & Seasoning

  • While the aromatics are cooking, finely chop the sun-dried tomatoes from the jar. Add them to the pan along with 1 teaspoon of dried oregano.
  • Continue cooking for 5–6 minutes. The tomatoes will begin to break down and infuse the base with rich umami flavor.

Step 3: Simmer with Stock & Pasta

  • Pour in 1 liter of vegetable stock and bring everything to a gentle boil.
  • Reduce heat to a simmer, then stir in 225 g of dried pasta. Season with a pinch of salt and cook for about 8 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.

Step 4: Add Greens & Finish with Oat Milk

  • Add 150 g of finely chopped spring greens to the pan. Continue to simmer for another 2–3 minutes until the pasta is al dente and the greens are wilted.
  • Remove from heat and stir in 500 ml oat milk to add a creamy finish to the broth. Taste and adjust the seasoning with more salt and black pepper if needed.

Step 5: Serve and Garnish

    Ladle your soupy pasta into bowls and top with:

    • Chopped basil and parsley
    • A sprinkle of vegan parmesan
    • A fresh grating of lemon zest
    • Serve immediately with crusty bread or a side salad for a full meal.
