Description
Elegant vegan garlic noodles tossed in a silky, garlic-infused sauce with a hint of citrus.
Ingredients
Scale
- 12 oz (340 g) spaghetti or linguine
- 6 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 8–10 large garlic cloves, thinly sliced
- 2 tablespoons tamari or soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon mirin or dry sherry (optional)
- 1 teaspoon sugar or maple syrup
- Zest and juice of 1 lemon
- 2 tablespoons toasted sesame seeds
- 2 green onions, thinly sliced
- Freshly cracked black pepper and flaky sea salt to taste
Instructions
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a rolling boil. Cook pasta until al dente, reserving 1 cup pasta water, then drain.
- Warm the olive oil in a sauté pan over medium-low heat. Add the sliced garlic and toast until pale golden, about 3–4 minutes. Remove half for garnish.
- Increase heat to medium, add tamari and mirin, and stir to deglaze the pan. Let reduce slightly.
- Add the drained pasta and ¼ cup of reserved pasta water. Toss to coat until a silky emulsion forms.
- Off heat, stir in lemon zest, lemon juice, and sugar/maple syrup. Fold in green onions and the remaining garlic.
- Plate immediately and garnish with reserved garlic, sesame seeds, black pepper, and herbs.
