Have you ever thought about trying to become a Vegan? Has it ever crossed your mind that maybe you would at the least like to try vegan meal, except you don't know how to make one? Unless its toast with jam, or oatmeal...j.k.. If you have every been curious to try a dish, I have posted this easy to make Vegan dish that has been altered slightly for anybody looking to try new foods, and for anybody looking to eat more healthier. Try it what do you have to lose? Note: Everybody has different taste some people like more salt and less pepper , others like more pep less salt. what have you this dish is easy to make and in the end you can salt and pepper it as much or as little as possible. In this recipe you will need:
1 Pound of Farfalle pasta (one box)
Olive oil
1 Large Onion
5 garlic cloves minced ( i buy a big jar of minced garlic 1/2 tsp = 1 clove)
1/2 cup raw cashews ( i use the halved ones because they are easier to blend)
2 cups of water
1 tablespoon lemon juice
2 tsp salt
1 pound of mushroom ( i buy pre sliced already in bag)
salt and pepper 2 taste
First: Bring a large pot of water to a boil and cook your farfalle according to package and drain.
Second: heat a splash of olive oil in a sauce pan and throw in your chopped up onion and let that cook for about 3 min.
Once those onions are slightly browned add the minced garlic; heat and stir for additional 1 min.
Third: In a blender, Pour the 2 cups of water, 1 table lemon juice, 2 tsp salt, then the onion mixture with garlic, and lastly put the cashews in and blend until real smooth and creamy (about 3-5 minutes depending on your blender)
Meanwhile, the blender is working its magic, heat a splash of olive oil in a sauce pan and then throw those mushrooms in the hot fire and watch these babys sizzle. Add pepper to the shrooms to give them a nice flavor.(not actualy 1 pound of mushrooms because this is all i had in fridge) by all means you could even use more!
Then, After about 5 minutes of mushroom cooking, go ahead and pour the cream sauce all over those mushroom and cook for about 5 minutes just until the cream thickens up alittle bit, but make sure to stir frequently because the sauce can stick to the pan if you leave it alone.
Lastly, turn off the heat and stir in your farfalle pasta. Make sure you stir this up real good get it evenly coated. Finally, serve it with pink salt, pepper, and/or chilli flakes. Carb-up and enjoy.
If you want to heat this dish up later , just add alittle bit of almond milk to it and heat it up for 4 minutes. Also, you can put some of this in a container with almond milk and spinach and take this to work for a quick meal and satisfiying meal.
