Pasta

In a large Dutch oven, heat olive oil over medium-high heat and cook onions for 10 minutes, stirring often. Add the garlic, thyme, nutmeg and salt and cook for a further 4 minutes.
Deglaze with white wine and red wine vinegar and cook for a further 2 minutes. Add vegetable broth, soy cream, baking powder and pepper and stir well.
In a pot of boiling salted water, cook pasta according to package directions. Before draining pasta, remove 2/3 cup (160 ml) cooking water.
Drain pasta and place in sauce with cooking water. Cook for a further 2 minutes over low heat, stirring well to ensure pasta is well coated with sauce. Serve with croutons and extra pepper.
