Instructions
Sauce
- Thoroughly shake your can of coconut milk to ensure that it is well-combined.
- In a medium bowl, combine coconut milk and nutritional yeast. Whisk together and set aside.
Pasta
- In a large skillet, add oil and onions. Bring to medium heat and saute for 5 minutes.
- Add garlic and sweet corn and saute for 5 minutes.
- Meanwhile, this is a good time to get your water boiling and cook your pasta while the other ingredients are cooking.
- Add zucchini, yellow squash, and soy sauce to the skillet. Saute everything together for 5 minutes and then pour in the sauce mixture.
- Once the pasta is al dente, drain it and add it into the skillet.
- Cook for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. The sauce will thicken as it cooks down.
- Serve and garnish with fresh basil.
