| Mix Veg Pasta (no cheese) |
Whenever I plan to cook pasta I don’t have to worry about the absence of cheeses or cream in my kitchen pantry…as most of the times, I use to cook pasta without dairy. I feel that there are many ways that you can make pasta creamy still without using the dairy stuff. Earlier I have shared pasta-with-hummus-creamy-pasta in my blog ..This time one more pasta recipe without cream, cheese or eggs.
No use of cheese does not mean that your pasta is not delicious but this vegan pasta has all the taste and creaminess which comes with the addition of some veggies which I have blended into a coarse paste
I have used the stalks (danthal/ डंठल) of broccoli which I had blended with onion and garlic. A few more veggies are added to it and we do not miss the absence of cheese in this delicious pasta
