Ingredients
- 8 ounces pasta of choice use certified gluten free pasta if needed
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 garlic minced
- 1 tablespoon corn starch
- 1 tablespoon cold water
- 1 cup unsweetened oat milk recipe below
- 1 teaspoon garlic salt
- 1/4 teaspoon Black Pepper
- 1/4 cup fresh parsley
Instructions
Cook pasta according to package instructions. Drain, saving 1 cup of the pasta water and set aside.
While pasta is cooking, in a large pot heat olive oil over low heat. Add the garlic and saute for 2 or 3 minutes until the garlic begins to brown.

Notes
To Make Your Own Unsweetened Oat Milk:
- .Combine 1 cup oats (use certified gluten free if needed), 4 cups water, and pinch of salt to a blender. Allow the ingredients to sit for 10 minutes before blending.
- Blend on high for 30 seconds. Strain immediately though a fine mesh strainer, cheese cloth, or a nut milk bag. Do NOT squeeze the oat milk, let it drain naturally. Squeezing it can cause it to become slimy.
To thicken your sauce: add 1 tablespoon of cold water to 1 teaspoon of cornstarch in a separate bowl, mix well to combine. Add corn starch mixture to the pasta sauce while it is warming and stir for a minute or two until it thickens.
If sauce is too thick, add the cooked pasta water 1/4 cup at a time until the sauce is the consistency you prefer.
Dietary Modifications
- To make this recipe gluten free, Make sure the oats and pasta you are using are certified gluten free. While oats are naturally gluten free, there can be cross-contamination during processing, so always make sure your oats have the Certified GF stamp on the packaging if you must avoid wheat.
- If you are using a pre-made oat milk, many are not gluten free, so always buy one that has the certified stamp on it.
