Ingredients

1 medium onion diced
4 cloves garlic minced
1 can coconut cream
1 can diced tomatoes
1 lb green beans (optional chop into bite sized pieces)
1 cup vegetable broth
2 tbsp flour
1 tsp Italian seasoning
1 tbsp cajun seasoning
1 lb pasta
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp pepper

Instructions

Bring a pot of water to a boil. Once the water starts boiling cook pasta to the package instructions (about 11 minutes)
1 lb pasta
While the pasta is cooking. Dice up the onion and garlic. Add to a saucepan over medium heat. Saute with a small amount of vegetable broth. Cook until onions are soft and translucent.
1 medium onion, 4 cloves garlic
Add the Italian seasoning, cajun seasoning, salt, and pepper to the onion mixture. Stir to fully combine.
1 tsp Italian seasoning, 1 tbsp cajun seasoning, 1/2 tsp salt, 1/2 tsp pepper
Add the flour to the coconut cream, and whisk until they're well combined.
1 can coconut cream, 2 tbsp flour
Add the green beans, canned tomatoes, and the rest of the vegetable broth to the onion mixture. Stir to fully combine.
1 lb green beans, 1 cup vegetable broth, 1 can diced tomatoes
Combine the coconut mixture with the sauce. Stir to combine and allow to boil. This will help thicken the sauce. This shouldn't take more than 3-5 minutes.
Drain the pasta from the pasta water and add the pasta to the vegan creamy cajun sauce.
Stir to fully combine. Serve and enjoy!

Notes

If your sauce thickens too much, reserve some of the pasta water and stir it in before the pasta is added.
