This Caramelized Onion Sun-dried Tomato Pasta is the perfect comforting warm dish for Fall! 

With simple ingredients like caramelized onions, sun-dried tomatoes, and gluten-free pasta, this recipe is the perfect combination of flavor and nourishment. 

As someone who grew up on a LOT of Italian food, pasta was a staple in my house and I feel that pasta really embodies what a delicious pasta dish should be.

It’s gluten free, vegan, and incredibly satisfying! Let’s dive into why this dish should be your next go-to recipe, and of course, how to make it!

Why You Should Make This Vegan Pasta 

This pasta is incredibly versatile, making it perfect for weeknight dinners, meal prep, or even special occasions. The caramelized onions add a sweet depth of flavor, while the sun-dried tomatoes bring a tangy brightness. 

Together, they create a sauce that coats the pasta beautifully, without needing any dairy or heavy creams. Plus, this recipe is easy to make and is packed with wholesome, nutrient-rich ingredients.

Health Benefits of This Dish 

Not only is this pasta delicious, but it also comes with plenty of health benefits: – 

Onions and shallots: rich in antioxidants, supporting heart health and lowering inflammation. 

Sun-dried tomatoes: provide a boost of vitamin C and K, which helps strengthen the immune system and improve bone health. 

Coconut aminos: serve as a low-sodium, soy-free alternative to traditional soy sauce, offering essential amino acids. 

Gluten-free pasta:  I love to use lentil pasta for some added protein which is delicious and makes this dish accessible to those with gluten sensitivities, while still being very filling and satisfying.
