Instructions

Cook the linguine pasta according to the package instructions, reserving one cup of pasta water before straining. Set aside.
Put all sauce ingredients in a blender and blend until smooth. Adjust consistency with more almond milk or pasta water if necessary.
In a large saucepan, heat ½ tablespoon olive oil over medium-high heat and sauté the sliced onion until translucent.
Combine the cooked pasta and sauce in the saucepan, mixing thoroughly.
Add the fresh basil and chopped sun-dried tomatoes, mixing again to combine.
Finish with a drizzle of balsamic vinegar, fresh black pepper, and optional Parmesan cheese before serving.

Notes

For a creamier sauce, add more almond milk or pasta water as needed.
Feel free to use any type of pasta you prefer, though whole wheat is recommended for added nutrition.
Adjust the amount of sun-dried tomatoes based on your taste.
