Vegan Smokey Carbonara Sauce instructions
- Heat the tablespoon of oil on medium high heat. Once to temperature, add chopped onions and garlic. Cook until onions are translucent, about 5-6 minutes..
- Lower the heat to medium, remove from heat and add a flower mix well..
- Return to the medium heat and add the remaining seasoning (salt, pepper, nutritional yeast) and the almond milk. Whisk together on medium heat for about 5-8 minutes. Let the flavors combined and get used to each other :-) The sauce will thicken. If gets to thick add little more almond milk..
- Once all ingredients have been combined and infused, turn off the heat and let sit to cool. This step is not necessary. I do this for I hate placing hot liquid on my blender..
- Combine all these ingredients together in a blender and blend for about 3 minutes, or until smooth. This as you know all depends on how strong your blender is. Taste, may need mote salt..
- Once blended, you will have a creamy sauce that you can use for just about anything! Use on pastas, meatball tacos, falafels, salads, etc. Imagination is key!.
The creamy sauce is adapted from Bon Appetit's recipe but I added nutritional yeast (I refuse to say nutritional yeast has a cheesy flavour because it just doesn't, to me) for a savoury touch. I also whacked in a blob of tahini because its earthy, creaminess. This Creamy Carbonara is a plate of heavenly, creamy pasta. Silky spaghetti with crispy pancetta in a super creamy and cheesy sauce. Simply delicious and so easy to make them at home.
