Can this be vegan?
Yes, this pasta can definitely be vegan. The only thing you’ll need to switch out is the cream. I highly recommend either using cashew cream that is already made, or you can actually boil the cashews in with the sauce, so they become soft and easy for blending. If you boil the cashews with the sauce, you’ll need to add in a bit more vegetable stock to thin the sauce.
Is this Sun Dried Tomato Spaghetti Gluten Free?
This recipe is gluten free as long as you use gluten free noodles. Everything else is gluten free! Just to be sure though always check the labels.
