Creamy Vegan Eggplant Pasta

This vegan eggplant pasta recipe is ready in just 15 minutes and has an extra-creamy sauce you’ll love! It has a subtle spicy taste and a lovely blend of flavors. 

Schar created another awesome bloggers’ competition here in Romania and in the next few weeks, you’ll start seeing some delicious, vegan and gluten-free recipes on my blog! I will create gluten-free pasta, appetizer and dessert recipes, all of them ideal for a romantic lunch or dinner.

I will start my series of gluten-free recipes for Schar with a simple but extremely flavorful recipe – creamy vegan eggplant pasta. This instantly became one of my favorite pasta recipes! I discovered that soy yogurt is incredibly good as a base for pasta sauces and the combo between eggplant, tomatoes, and garlic is pure bliss! 😀

This is a really quick pasta recipe, as the prep time takes only 5 minutes and the sauce can be made while the pasta boils. So if you’re looking for quick and easy eggplant recipes, you’re in the right place! This eggplant pasta recipe is just perfect for a quick lunch and, as I discovered, it tastes great when served cold as well, so you can pack it for lunch at work or school.

If you don’t have coeliac disease or gluten sensitivity, then you can use any other pasta you want. I would suggest using whole grain pasta. 🙂

So, here it is! I hope that my extra-creamy vegan eggplant pasta recipe will become your favorite too! Let me know in the comments below if you gave it a try! 😉 Thanks!
