Dig into this creamy vegan sun-dried tomato pasta filled with hidden veggies! One thing I’ve been seeing a lot of on the internet and hearing from my friends is that they are not getting a typical amount of veggies into their diets as usual. At the beginning of lockdown, I was definitely having the same challenge. (You mean there are food groups other than peanut butter-filled pretzels and icecream?? Who knew.) Lately, I’ve been looking for ways to incorporate vegetables into comfort foods. Nothing says comfort food to me like pasta with a creamy sauce 🤤. So how the heck do you make that healthy? The key is hidden veggies. The sauce for this pasta dish is primarily made from cashews and cauliflower (with an extra something special from sun-dried tomatoes). Yeah you read that right: cauliflower. Now before you or your picky family members write this one off, you…
Last week I had zero plan on what to make for dinner. I had just gotten home from a spin class and was RAVENOUS. I’m talkin’, if-I-don’t-eat-something-soon-I’m-going-to-pass-out-on-the-floor, hungry. But I also didn’t feel like any of my staples or something bland. I thought about the flavor theme I wanted, herby Italian, and started pulling things off the shelves. I ended up with this unreal cream sauce to go over tofu and pasta. I was literally licking my bowl it was so good (v cute mental image). Oh, and you know how people are worried about vegans getting enough protein? Each serving of this dish (if made with a lentil pasta) has 42 GRAMS OF PROTEIN. That’s insane. Talk about a high-protein vegan meal. Anyways, this dish was amazing and made for great leftovers as well. It’s definitely going to be filed under “make it again ASAP” for me. I hope…
