Ingredients

Pasta

  • 6-8 cups spring water (to boil your pasta) note 1
  • 12 ounce box Kamut Spirals note 2
  • 1 teaspoon grapeseed oil note 8
  • 1 tablespoon dried tarragon note 8
  • teaspoon sea salt note 8
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder note 8

Creamy Sauce

  • 2 teaspoon grapeseed oil note 3
  • ½ medium onion, chopped
  • 16 ounce sliced baby bella mushrooms note 9
  • ¼ teaspoon sea salt + plus ½ teaspoon additional
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper plus ½ teaspoon additional
  • ¼ cup chickpea flour note 4
  • 2 cups spring water note 1
  • 15 ounce light canned unsweetened coconut milk note 5
  • 1 tablespoon dried tarragon
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon dried basil
  • 2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 2-3  plum (roma) tomatoes, chopped note 6
  • 2 cups packed fresh kale note 7

Instructions

Pasta

  • Grab a large pot and bring water to a boil. Add a pinch of salt to flavor the water.
  • Once water is boiling add Kamut Pasta. Cook until pasta is al dente' for 8 to 10 minutes. Once pasta is done boiling, drain and add to a bowl. (Keep the pot out as you will need it to make your sauce.)
  • OPTIONAL: Here we are going to season the pasta individually while still warm. You can skip this step if you like. I always seasoned my pasta individually before adding any sauce to maximize flavor. To your warm pasta add grapeseed oil, dried tarragon, sea salt, and onion powder.
  • Mix together coating your pasta with the seasonings evenly. Taste one pasta shell making sure you can taste the seasonings on it. Set aside to begin making your creamy sauce.

Creamy Sauce

  • Add 1 tablespoon grapeseed oil to the same big pot used to boil your pasta. Place over medium-high heat allowing the oil to heat up for 1 minute. To the hot oil add in chopped onions and sliced mushrooms. Cook, stirring occasionally until vegetables soften for about 3 to 5 minutes.
  • Add  ¼ teaspoon of salt and ¼ teaspoon of pepper to your veggies to season and stir. Then pour in additional 1 tablespoon of grapeseed oil and chickpea flour. Stir consistently mixing your flour with the oil and vegetables for no more than 1 minute.   There should be no DRY FLOUR spots. This will help thicken your sauce.
  • Next, pour in your spring water, can coconut milk, dried tarragon, dried oregano, dried basil, onion powder, ½ teaspoon of sea salt, and ½ teaspoon of black pepper. Stir to combine and allow to simmer uncovered on low heat for about 20 minutes until the sauce starts to slightly thicken.
  • After about 20 minutes, add in your cooked pasta, tomatoes and kale. Stir until kale is cooked down for about 3 to 5 minutes and then remove from heat. Don't worry if your creamy sauce is slightly liquidity and not as creamy by the time you add your pasta. The starches in the pasta will help thicken it up even more to get that creamy effect.
  • Serve immediately alone or with fried oyster mushrooms. Enjoy!

Notes

SCROLL UP TO THE BLOG POST TO SEE STEP BY STEP PHOTOS, STORAGE TIPS, MEAL PREP TIPS, AND MORE INFORMATION ABOUT THIS RECIPE!
  1. WATER: If you are not on a Dr. Sebi diet use regular filtered water.  To add more flavor to your dish use our vegan bone broth.
  2. PASTA:  If you are not on a Dr. Sebi diet, you can use regular white, whole-wheat pasta, or even gluten-free pasta. Penne pasta would work in this recipe. Other "alkaline" pasta varieties you can use are chickpea pasta or spelt pasta. 
  3. OIL: Use any oil or vegan butter you have on hand (that has a high smoke point) if you are not on a strict Dr. Sebi. diet.  Or if you are oil free, you can sauté your vegetables in water or broth.
  4. FLOUR: Use regular white flour or preferably whole wheat flour if you are not on a Dr. Sebi diet. "Sebians" can substitute with spelt flour. I DO NOT recommend any other flours besides the ones I just mentioned. 
  5. COCONUT MILK: When using coconut milk, ONLY use unsweetened light canned coconut milk you find in the Asian/Ethic cooking isle. (Read blog post above to see why I used canned product for this recipe). DO NOT use the coconut milk in you find in the refrigerated section of the store. That will be too sweet for this dish. You can substitute with other plant-based milks like my sea moss milk recipe.
  6. TOMATOES: I wouldn't omit the tomatoes. They add color and acid to the dish needed to balance out all the flavors.  If you are not a Sebian, used whatever tomatoes are available to you. If you just hate tomatoes, you might have to add a little lime or lemon juice the dish. Test and adjust to your liking. 
  7. KALE: I've made this recipe with swiss chard and spinach (not Dr. Sebi recommended) and it was delicious! If you are a strict Sebian, you can use turnip greens or dandelion greens. Those greens are VERY BITTER so I'm not sure how they will taste in this recipe.
  8. OPTIONAL STEP: Seasoning the pasta individually is totally optional. If you skip this step you will not need the additional measurements of seasonings listed in the ingredient list under "Pasta" outside of the water for boiling and the pasta itself.
  9. ADDITIONS & OTHER SUBSITITONS: Add chickpeas or white beans (not Sebi recommended) to this dish to make it more hearty and give you a protein boost! Any type of mushrooms can be used or even a mixture of different types of mushrooms. Nutritional yeast or you favorite vegan cheese (not Sebi recommended) would be WONDERFUL in this!
