Cook the Pasta

Sauté the Veggies
In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and cook until translucent. Toss in the garlic and bell pepper, stirring for about 3-4 minutes.
Mix It Up
Pour in the veggie broth, non-dairy milk, and tomato paste. Stir until combined. Add nutritional yeast, paprika, salt, and pepper. Bring to a simmer.

Top It Off
