How to Make Vegan Hot Italian Sausage Pasta:
- Cook pasta according to package
- Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat.
- If your sausage has a casing, remove this before cooking
- Add crumbled vegan sausage and begin to brown. Continue to break up sausage into smaller pieces as it cooks
- Add diced onion and minced garlic and sauté for a few more minutes
- Pour in the contents of the canned diced tomatoes, with juices, and the white wine. Continue to simmer for another 5-8 minutes to allow the alcohol to evaporate
- Blend the cashews with water until super creamy and then add to the sauce. If you don’t have cashews or a blender, use 1 cup of dairy-free creamer – like this one!

- Pour over pasta and enjoy!
