Creamy olive bell pepper pasta

Creamy pasta is one of my favourite meals to make in the week. I tend to vary what I put in it depending on my mood for the day.

Some days I may feel like mushroom, or maybe courgette, sometimes even eggplant. For this recipe, we’re only going to need a good 7 ingredients (give or take).

What do you need for this pasta?

This pasta recipe is rather simple and only calls for a few ingredients.

Namely: Penne pasta, vegan cream, olives, bell pepper, garlic, mixed Italian herbs and black pepper, really.

This meal is a quick and easy one for a mid-week fix. A great way to get more vegan vitamin E in your diet (from the olives), and a nice go to for a lazy night in.

How to veganise creamy olive pasta

This pasta is relatively easy to veganise by subbing dairy cream with non-dairy cream, which is exactly what I did.

For this you can choose either soy, or oat cream (preferably the thicker option).

We hope you enjoy this bell pepper olive pasta recipe; it’s a beautifully veganised meal for those who miss creamy pasta but not the dairy.

Kid friendly, a great idea for a student on a budget, or a safe option at any vegan potluck.
