1. Cook the Orecchiette:
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the orecchiette pasta and cook according to the package instructions, usually about 8-10 minutes, until al dente.
2. Prepare the Sauce:
- While the pasta is cooking, heat olive oil in a large pan over medium heat.
- Sauté the garlic: Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.
- Stir in the Do Goodly Roasted Red Pepper Dip, mixing well with the garlic.
3. Combine Pasta and Sauce and serve:
- Once the pasta is cooked and drained, add it to the pan with the sauce. Toss the orecchiette in the sauce to coat it evenly.
- Top with grated veggie cheese, allowing it to melt into the warm pasta.
- Garnish with fresh basil leaves, if desired, for an added burst of freshness.
