Cook pasta according to package instructions.
1 lb (16 oz) penne pasta
In a large sauté pan add your sliced almonds and toast over low-medium heat, stirring occasionally. Once toasted, remove from pan and set aside in a separate dish.
3 tbsp sliced almonds
In the same pan that was used to toast the almonds, add oil along with diced sun dried tomatoes and minced garlic. Sauté until garlic is fragrant (1-2 minutes).
1-2 tbsp olive oil, 3 cloves fresh garlic, ½ cup sun dried tomatoes
Add the vegan parmesan cheese and vegetable broth. Whisk until mixture is well combined and cheese has melted.
1 cup vegan parmesan cheese, 1 cup vegetable broth
Add in sliced cherry tomatoes and cook until slightly wilted.
1½ cups cherry tomatoes
Drain the water from the pasta and add the penne pasta to the sauce mixture. Stir to combine so that all of the noodles are coated in the sauce.
Garnish with toasted almonds, fresh parsley and a pinch of sea salt to taste. Enjoy!
