this one’s from a few weeks ago, but it’s still cold and i still dream of eating this over and over again. it’s the comfort food to beat all comfort foods.

vegan pasta carbonara
(well, actually, i just realised it’s not vegan, because i used the stupid sanitarium fake bacon which has egg and dairy in it. weird and stupid)

make vegan sour cream for the sauce:

blend a tub of silken tofu (drained), a tablespoon of maple syrup, teaspoon of salt and the jucie of a whole lime. warm a quarter of a cup of olive oil and gently fry a few cloves of minced garlic in it. not to brown, just lightly golden. add the oil/garlic to the tofu and blend again. then add a bunch of herbs (this time parsley) and blend it all again. it’ll set in the fridge after an hour or so.

fry up a chopped red onion with some minced garlic and a big handful of sliced mushrooms (use oil and nuttelex to bring out the juices). add some chopped fake bacon and keep cooking for a bit, then add the vegan sourcream and set aside.

boil up a big pot of water and cook angel hair pasta. drain, and while it’s still hot pour the sauce over top, and smother in lots of cracked pepper.

serve in a bowl with a fork and eat it sitting in front of the tv on a school night.
