  • Add the vegetables to a medium sized saucepan.
  • Add the almond milk and heat on medium-low, stirring often, for fifteen minutes.
  • Add the spices and gently smash the vegetables with a potato masher or a fork.
  • Add the sauce to the cooked pasta, and mix well.
  • Garnish with freshly chopped parsley.
