Ingredients
  

  • 8 ounces pasta of choice use certified gluten free pasta if needed
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 4 garlic minced
  • 1 tablespoon corn starch
  • 1 tablespoon cold water
  • 1 cup unsweetened oat milk recipe below
  • 1 teaspoon garlic salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon Black Pepper
  • 1/4 cup fresh parsley

Instructions
 

  • Cook pasta according to package instructions.  Drain, saving 1 cup of the pasta water and set aside.
  • While pasta is cooking, in a large pot heat olive oil over low heat. Add the garlic and saute for 2 or 3 minutes until the garlic begins to brown.
  • Add the corn starch and the cold water in a separate dish, and mix until corn starch has dissolved. Pour this mix over the garlic.
  • Add the oat milk, garlic salt and pepper, and stir until the sauce begins to thicken.
  • Add the cooked pasta to the sauce and top with parsley. 

Notes

To Make Your Own Unsweetened Oat Milk:

  1. .Combine 1 cup oats (use certified gluten free if needed), 4 cups water, and pinch of salt to a blender.  Allow the ingredients to sit for 10 minutes before blending.
  2. Blend on high for 30 seconds.  Strain immediately though a fine mesh strainer, cheese cloth, or a nut milk bag. Do NOT squeeze the oat milk, let it drain naturally. Squeezing it can cause it to become slimy.
To thicken your sauce: add 1 tablespoon of cold water to 1 teaspoon of cornstarch in a separate bowl, mix well to combine. Add corn starch mixture to the pasta sauce while it is warming and stir for a minute or two until it thickens.
If sauce is too thick, add the cooked pasta water 1/4 cup at a time until the sauce is the consistency you prefer.

Dietary Modifications

  • To make this recipe gluten free, Make sure the oats and pasta you are using are certified gluten free. While oats are naturally gluten free, there can be cross-contamination during processing, so always make sure your oats have the Certified GF stamp on the packaging if you must avoid wheat.
    • If you are using a pre-made oat milk, many are not gluten free, so always buy one that has the certified stamp on it.
