Dairy Free Spaghettio's
SpaghettiO's are a kid classic, but are off limits for kids on a dairy free diet. This recipe is easy to make, dairy free, and will be a new family favorite!
Ingredients
- 15 oz plain tomato sauce
- 15 oz rice milk I've also used hemp and soy with success
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp onion powder
- ½ tsp paprika
- ¼ tsp salt
- 1 tbsp nutritional yeast
- 7 oz ring shaped pasta
- water as needed
Instructions
- Stir all of your ingredients together in a medium saucepan, except for the pasta and water.
- Bring the tomato mixture to a boil and stir in the pasta. Turn the heat down and cook the pasta as it simmers, stirring often to keep the pasta from sticking to the bottom of the pan.
- Continue to cook and stir the mixture until the pasta is tender. The time will vary depending on the size and shape of the pasta but will likely be much longer than indicated on the pasta’s package.
- Add a splash of water at a time, as necessary, to keep the sauce from becoming too dry. I probably added about 1 cup of water by the time I was finished.
- Adjust seasoning to taste – including a bit of sugar, if you prefer your sauce on the sweeter side.
Notes
Nutritional yeast is not necessary in this recipe, but it helps replace the flavor of cheese. It’s also a nutritional powerhouse, so it’s a great addition to your diet.
For a gluten-free option, use a small gluten-free pasta. If you can’t find one, try using a gluten-free spaghetti noodle and breaking it into small pieces before cooking.
