Ingredients for Vegan Tortellini in Creamy Pesto Sauce:

  • vegan cheese tortellini – I use Kite Hill brand
  • vegan butter
  • garlic

  • vegan parmesan cheese
  • vegan pesto – Trader Joe’s makes a good one.
  • sea salt
  • ground black pepper

 

How to make Vegan Tortellini in Creamy Pesto Sauce:

Prepare pasta according to package directions. Drain and set aside.
In a large skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes.
Whisk in the creamer and bring to a boil, stirring frequently.
Reduce heat to low and mix in the parmesan cheese. When the cheese has melted in to the sauce, stir in the pesto and allow to simmer 3-5 minutes. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
