    METHOD

    Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil over high heat. Cook the penne according to the package directions. Add 1/2 cup sun-dried tomatoes to the boiling water just before draining. Return to the pot after draining.

    Meanwhile, in a medium saucepan, whisk the oil and flour for 3 to 5 minutes over medium heat to make a roux (or paste). Then, in a saucepan, combine the almond milk, nutritional yeast, tomato paste, salt, garlic powder, basil, and red pepper and bring to a boil, whisking frequently.

    Reduce the heat to low, stir in the remaining 1/2 cup sun-dried tomatoes, and continue to cook until the sauce thickens. Place in a blender and puree until smooth. Toss the pasta in the sauce to coat. Season with salt and pepper to taste, and serve immediately.
