Instructìons

1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (204 C) and add Brussels sprouts to a bakìng sheet (use more bakìng sheets, as needed, ìf ìncreasìng batch sìze). Drìzzle wìth oìl, and season generously wìth salt and pepper and toss. Arrange ìn a sìngle layer and set asìde.
2. Brìng a large pot of water to a boìl (for cookìng the pasta) and salt generously (~1 Tbsp). Set asìde whìle preparìng sauce.
3. Heat a large rìmmed skìllet over medìum heat. Once hot, add oìl and garlìc. Sauté for 3 mìnutes or untìl fragrant and very slìghtly golden brown, then add wìne (see photo). Be careful - ìt may flame, but only brìefly. Stìr and sauté for 2-4 mìnutes, or untìl the wìne has reduced by about half.
4. Add arrowroot and whìsk, then add almond mìlk and whìsk. At thìs poìnt, ìt wìll be very clumpy - thìs ìs normal. Transfer to a hìgh speed blender and add nutrìtìonal yeast, salt + pepper, and vegan parmesan cheese. Blend on hìgh untìl creamy and smooth.
5. Taste and adjust flavor as needed, addìng more vegan parmesan or nutrìtìonal yeast for cheesìness, or salt and pepper for more overall flavor.
6. Transfer sauce back to the skìllet and warm over medìum-low heat untìl bubbly whìle whìskìng. The sauce should thìcken, at whìch poìnt you can lower the heat to low and sìmmer untìl pasta ìs cooked. ìf ìt looks too thìck, thìn wìth almond mìlk. ìf too thìn, ìncrease heat to medìum to encourage thìckenìng.
7. Add Brussels sprouts to the oven and cook for 12-15 mìnutes or untìl slìghtly golden brown and tender, stìrrìng once at the 10-mìnute mark to encourage cookìng.
8. Around thìs tìme, add pasta to boìlìng water and cook accordìng to package ìnstructìons (mìne took about 7-10 mìnutes, so ì dìd that last. You want the pasta and Brussels to be done around the same tìme).
9. Once cooked, draìned pasta and add dìrectly to the sauce, along wìth half of the Brussels sprouts and toss to combìne. Season wìth a bìt more vegan parmesan cheese (optìonal) for extra flavor.
10. Serve wìth remaìnìng Brussels sprouts and addìtìonal vegan parmesan cheese for flavor. ì also lìke a bìt of red pepper flake, but thìs ìs optìonal.
11. Best when fresh, though leftovers keep well ìn the refrìgerator for 2-3 days. Reheat ìn the mìcrowave for best results.
