Vegan Garlic Roasted Veggie & Tomato Pasta
Enjoy a vibrant, plant-based meal packed with color, savory garlic, and rich tomato flavor!
The secret to this dish? Cooking sweet carrots and crisp bell peppers right in the pan before simmering them in rich tomato sauce and fresh garlic. By pairing these tender roasted veggies with Fiber Gourmet Light Rotini, you get the same satisfying, sauce-clinging spiral pasta you love—with half the calories of traditional pasta and a massive fiber boost—making it a wholesome, dairy-free dinner option.
1 bag (4 oz) Fiber Gourmet Light Elbows Pasta
1 cup tomato sauce
1/2 red bell pepper, chopped
1 medium carrot, chopped
1/4 cup vegan mozzarella cheese
1 garlic clove, finely grated
Olive oil spray
Salt and freshly cracked black pepper to taste
✓ Dice carrots small: Chop the carrots into small, uniform pieces so they soften at the same rate as the red bell peppers in the pan.
✓ Grate the garlic: Grating your fresh garlic clove directly into the pan creates an instant aromatic punch that infuses evenly throughout the tomato sauce.
✓ Cover to melt: Pop a lid over the saucepan right after adding the vegan cheese so the trapped steam melts it evenly into the warm pasta.
Heat a saucepan over medium heat and coat with olive oil spray. Add the chopped red bell pepper and carrot. Cover with a lid and let cook for 5 to 7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until tender-crisp.
While the veggies cook, bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the Fiber Gourmet Light Elbows according to the package directions. Drain well and set aside.
Add the grated garlic and tomato sauce to the saucepan with the cooked vegetables. Cover and let it simmer for 2 minutes so the flavors meld together.
Remove the cover, add the drained Light Rotini directly to the sauce, and stir well. Cover and let heat for another 2 minutes until the pasta absorbs the sauce.
Transfer the hot pasta to a bowl. Top with vegan mozzarella cheese, an extra light grate of fresh garlic, and salt and pepper to taste. Serve hot and enjoy!
Absolutely! While Light Rotini is great for catching bits of diced veggies in its spirals, our Light Penne or Shells work just as well.
Covering the pan while the pasta is piping hot traps heat and steam, which helps vegan mozzarella melt into a creamy, gooey layer.
Yes! Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3–4 days. Reheat in the microwave or on the stovetop with a splash of water to loosen up the sauce.
