Ingredients

Scale

Pasta

  • 200g gluten-free spaghetti

Cheese and Cream

  • 1 cup plant-based Parmesan-style cheese, grated
  • 1/2 cup plant-based cream

Vegetables and Herbs

  • 3 to 4 cloves fresh garlic, finely chopped
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped

Proteins

  • 4 slices smoked turkey bacon, chopped

Oils and Sauces

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural)

Seasonings

  • Salt, to taste
  • Freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Cook the Spaghetti: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the gluten-free spaghetti until al dente. Reserve one cup of pasta water before draining to adjust the sauce consistency later.
  2. Sauté Garlic and Smoked Turkey Bacon: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the finely chopped garlic and cook until fragrant but not browned. Add the chopped smoked turkey bacon and sauté until crisp and golden.
  3. Prepare the Cheesy Sauce: Reduce the heat to low and stir in the plant-based cream followed by the grated plant-based Parmesan-style cheese. Add vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural) and mix until the cheese melts into a creamy, glossy sauce. Use reserved pasta water as needed to achieve your desired sauce consistency.
  4. Combine Pasta with Sauce: Add the cooked spaghetti directly into the skillet with the sauce. Toss gently to coat every strand evenly. Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper, stirring well to incorporate all flavors.
  5. Garnish and Serve: Sprinkle chopped fresh parsley over the top for a fresh herbal finish and serve immediately for the best taste and texture.

Notes

  • Cook pasta al dente to ensure perfect texture and avoid sogginess.
  • Use fresh garlic for a vibrant and aromatic flavor.
  • Reserve pasta water to help loosen the sauce and improve its adherence to pasta.
  • Maintain moderate heat when melting cheese to prevent clumping.
  • Season gradually and taste frequently to balance salt, pepper, and vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural).
