More often than note it is the simple dishes that are the most delicious and lets be honest there is nothing as nice as a simple bowl of pasta! This is quick but delicious vegan meal that you can whip up pretty quickly especially if you use rice noodles because they cook really quickly.
This is also a great waste-free recipe because everything (except the egg noodles) can be bought without packaging. You can always switch the pasta out for one of the options available at your local zero waste store.

Ingredients
Method
- Put a pan on medium heat + add 1 tablespoon of olive oil + the onion, then cook for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until lightly golden.
- Add garlic + basil stalks + cook for 1 minute, then add the tomatoes + balsamic vinegar.
- Season with a tiny pinch of pink salt + black pepper, then continue cooking for around 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Fill a large pot three-quarters of the way up with boiling water, add a pinch of pink salt + set over high heat to bring back to the boil.
- Add the linguine + cook according to packet instructions – usually it is approximately 8 minutes to al dente (you want it to still have a bit of a bite to it).
- Once the pasta is cooked, ladle out 1 cup of the cooking water + set aside. Drain pasta + tip it back in to the pot.
- Immediately add the linguine into the sauce, along with a small splash of the pasta cooking water to loosen it all + add some creamy depth to the sauce (if needed).
- Serve with more fresh basil, a drizzle of olive oil + a good crack of black pepper.
