Recipe: Spicy Pasta

[Guest guest]

I recently moved from a foggy part of California to my old birth town

of Tulsa/OK. It was here in Tulsa that I developed this recipe, after

seeing a friend use a box mix of " Mac and Cheese " . Disgusted by what

I saw, I decided to make a sort of vegan Mac-n-Cheesless dish. This

recipe creates a meal for one, or a side dish of 2-4 servings.

 

1 Cup Uncooked Pasta Shapes

1/2 Cup Mixed Vegetables

Salt, Pepper, Fine Crushed Basil, a Dash of Louisiana Roasted Garlic

Hot Sauce, Fresh Garlic to taste

1/4 Cup Vegetable or Olive Oil (olive oil makes it most delicious!)

1/3 Cup Large Flake Brewer's Yeast

 

Cook the pasta and veggies. I have been using a frozen mixed veggie

pack I've found which is supposedly " fresh frozen " , plus it contains

NO preservatives, salt, or other additives, and is less than a dollar

for a full pound. For some reason, produce here is so expensive!

Anyway, I drain the pasta and collect the hot water into a large

serving bowl, which preheats the bowl. I rinse the pasta, so it will

stop cooking. Then empty the large bowl, and fold in the pasta with

the cooked veggies. I like my veggies slightly crips, so cook them as

you'd like them. Then add the oil, and stir to evenly coat the

mixture, add the spices, and fold them in well, then add the brewer's

yeast flakes. This makes a dish that is similar to mac-n-cheese, but

I like it MUCH better! Enjoy!
