Ingredients

Pasta

1 cup anellini pasta or other small pasta shape

Sauce

1 can tomato sauce 15-ounce can
1 cup water
2 tbsp nutritional yeast
1 tbsp maple syrup or agave nectar
to taste salt and black pepper

Instructions

Cook the Pasta: Bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Add the anellini pasta and cook according to the package directions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
Start the Sauce: In a medium saucepan, combine tomato sauce, water, nutritional yeast, and maple syrup. Stir until well combined.
Simmer the Sauce: Bring the sauce to a gentle simmer over medium heat for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally until flavors meld and sauce thickens slightly.
Combine: Add the drained pasta to the sauce. Stir gently to coat evenly.
Season and Serve: Season with salt and black pepper to taste. Serve immediately warm.

Notes

For richer flavor, use vegetable broth instead of water. Maple syrup can be substituted with coconut sugar or brown sugar. Add a pinch of onion or garlic powder for extra savory notes.
