My try at Vegan Cooking

Easy recipe I made up for a cheesy garlic basil pasta

Okay the first part is a lie. There's no cheese, instead I used nutritional yeast as a replacement, but yeast sauce sounds gross. So let's get cooking

What you need

1/2 pound of macaroni or fettuccine
1/2 pound of sliced egg plant
Sauce:
1 cup of nutritional yeast
1/4 cup of olive oil
1 Large Onion cut in chunks
8 cloves of garlic cut small
3 teaspoons of smoked paprika
1/2 cup of vegetable broth
teaspoon of salt
2 teaspoons soy sauce
1/2 cup of basil leaves
Some black pepper


Cook onions for three minutes on medium-high heat on stove, then add garlic. Continue cooking for 2 more minutes, then add to blender or food processor. Add rest of sauce ingredients and process until slightly smooth. Set aside

Next began cooking sliced egg plants on stove for 5 minutes. Then add 1/2 cup of sauce and stir for 3 minutes.

Cook pasta according to package, top off with the egg plant and sauce, and eat. :)
