Prepration for:Gluten-Free Penne Arrabbiata with Dairy-Free Garlic Bread

Step 1/3

Cook the Pasta

Bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Add gluten-free penne and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.

Step 2/3

Make the Arrabbiata Sauce

Heat olive oil in a pan over medium heat. Add minced garlic and red chili flakes, sauté until fragrant (about 30 seconds). Pour in crushed tomatoes and simmer for 10–15 minutes. Season with salt and stir in the cooked pasta. Toss well to coat evenly.

Step 3/3

Prepare the Garlic Bread

Preheat oven or a pan on medium heat. In a small bowl, mix olive oil or dairy-free butter with garlic slices, nutritional yeast (if using), and a pinch of salt. Spread mixture on bread slices. Toast in oven at 375°F (190°C) for 7–10 minutes or until golden and crispy. OR toast in a pan for 2–3 minutes per side.

Chef's Tips & Notes

Notes: Make it creamier: Add a spoonful of unsweetened dairy-free yogurt or coconut cream to the arrabbiata for richness. Add protein: Include sautéed mushrooms, lentils, or vegan sausage. Storage: Best enjoyed fresh, but leftovers can be stored in the fridge for up to 3 days.
