Vegan pasta in a skillet is a modern take on the classic Italian cuisine, adapted for plant-based eating. This recipe features a rich creamy sauce made from potatoes and cashews that gives the dish a velvety texture without dairy.

Quick preparation makes it an excellent choice for a busy day, and the ability to adjust the sauce's consistency allows customization to personal preferences.
