Alright, don’t run away just because this dish says\u00a0vegan<\/strong>..<\/p>\n

Many equals vegan with being\u00a0boring, flavourless not for them,\u00a0<\/strong>but often those who have that opinion have never even tried a vegan meal or they’ve just been unfortunate enough to have a really poorly cooked one.<\/p>\n

Happy to let you know that this dish is neither of those.. Well, I can’t be held accountable for your cooking-skills, but I dare say this is almost fool-proof and can be completed by even the most seasonal home-cook.<\/p>\n

If you’re after a\u00a0healthier<\/strong> alternative & to cut down on your animal-protein consumption, but still want to have a creamy & delicious pasta, well then this is absolutely for you.<\/p>\n

Instead of using your standard eggs & cream you’d be using for a traditional\u00a0<\/strong>Carbonara<\/strong>, I’ve incorporated coconut-cream & nutritional yeast which gives it the yellow colour along with it’s ‘cheesy-ness’. Instead of bacon, it contains baby peas, broccoli, green beans & mushrooms. It’s also made on a brown-rice pasta, which makes it gluten & wheat free.<\/p>\n

SERVES 4
\n<\/strong><\/h3>\n

INGREDIENTS:<\/strong><\/h3>\n

\n
• 500g brown rice pasta<\/li>\n
• 1,5 cups of steamed broccoli florets<\/li>\n
• 1 cup of frozen peas, defrosted<\/li>\n
• 10 mushrooms, cut into slices<\/li>\n
• 1 cup of steamed green beans, cut into halves<\/li>\n
• 2 cloves of garlic, finely chopped<\/li>\n
• 1 can of organic coconut cream<\/li>\n
• 0.25 cups of organic vegetable stock<\/li>\n
• 3 tbsp nutritional yeast<\/li>\n
• 4 tbsp coconut flour<\/li>\n
• 1 tsp ground turmeric<\/li>\n
• 1\/2 tsp ground ginger<\/li>\n
• Salt & pepper<\/li>\n
• Pepitas<\/li>\n
• Olive Oil<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

  INSTRUCTIONS:<\/h3>\n

  \n
  1. Bring a large pot with water & salt to the boil on the stove.<\/li>\n
  2. When boiling, add the rice-pasta and let it simmer for 8-10 minutes or until al-dente.<\/li>\n
  3. Heat up a large sauce-pan and add 1 tsp of olive oil. Then add garlic, broccoli, green beans, mushrooms & stir.<\/li>\n
  4. Add turmeric, ginger and a bit of salt & pepper.<\/li>\n
  5. Add the coconut cream and nutritional yeast to the vegetable-mixture and stir.<\/li>\n
  6. Add coconut flour by the tbsp and stir after each spoon. This is to thicken it up, so the sauce becomes creamier.<\/li>\n
  7. If the sauce becomes too thick add more vegetable-stock.<\/li>\n
  8. Add the drained pasta to the pot along with the peas and mix it all together. Add more salt & pepper to taste.<\/li>\n
  9. Arrange on plates or in bowls and decorate with pepitas and more nutritional yeast flakes.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
