Creamy Vegan Red Pepper Pasta With Garlic Bread Breadcrumbs

Ingredients:

• 6 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, divided, plus more for drizzling
• 2/3 cup breadcrumbs (fresh, dried, or panko)
• 4 garlic cloves, finely grated, divided
• 1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt, divided, plus more
• 1/2 cup coarsely chopped parsley
• 1 pound ziti, rigatoni, cavatelli, or other medium tube pasta
• 1 medium onion, finely chopped
• 4 whole roasted red peppers from a jar (about one 16-ounce jar), finely chopped
• 2 tablespoons tomato paste
• 1 (15-ounce) can white beans (such as navy or cannellini), rinsed
• 2 teaspoons finely grated lemon zest
• 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
• 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
• Freshly ground black pepper
• Lemon wedges (for serving; optional)

Preparation:

1. Heat 3 tablespoons oil in a large Dutch oven or heavy pot over medium-high heat. Add breadcrumbs, half of the garlic, and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Cook, stirring constantly, until golden brown and crisp, about 5 minutes. Transfer to a small bowl and stir in parsley. Set aside.
2. Meanwhile, cook pasta in a large pot of boiling salted water according to package directions. Drain, reserving 2 cups pasta cooking liquid.
3. Heat remaining 3 tablespoons oil in the same pot over medium-high heat. Cook onion, stirring occasionally, until slightly softened, 6–8 minutes. Add roasted red peppers, remaining garlic, and 1 teaspoon salt. Cook, stirring often, until any liquid is evaporated and vegetables are combined and glossy looking, about 5 minutes. Add tomato paste and cook, stirring occasionally, until vegetables are coated and paste is slightly darkened in color, about 5 minutes.
4. Add beans, lemon zest, lemon juice, and red pepper flakes to the pot. Season with black pepper. Cook, smashing beans and stirring to combine, about 2 minutes. Reduce heat to medium and gradually add reserved pasta cooking liquid (you might not need all of it), stirring and mashing as you go, until combined and sauce is thick. Remove from heat and immediately add pasta; toss to coat.
5. Divide pasta among bowls. Drizzle with a little oil and spoon breadcrumbs on top. Squeeze some lemon juice over if desired.
