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:
.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.
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.
