Tonight's Dinner - Pasta with Spicy Vodka Sauce

[Guest guest]

This was tonight's dinner. It was quite good and easy to put together. If

you want it spicier, use 2 chiles. I found it a bit mild but it was still

quite good.

Hi Risa- Hi all,

 

my two cents- whenever i make any cream sauce, I replace the cream/milk with

silken tofu or lite silken tofu and soy milk sometimes to thin it if

necessary- it's a good way to take out saturated fat and add good soy

protein..

I'm not vegan, but I definately do that- just a tip for anyone who may make

this stuff often

 

Looks like a good recipe Risa, I'll try it !! Thanks!

 

one day I'll actually get MC and start posting recipes
