Creamy Cruelty-free Italian Sausage Pasta

Living a meat-free life might seem difficult — even tragic — to some, but when the benefits of eating veg are increased energy, lowered risk of disease, and weight loss… it makes total sense. The trick to surviving (and thriving) in this lifestyle lies in the food you make

This pasta is a good one for weeknights – the sauce, made of largely pantry ingredients, only prepares for 30 minutes.

Just enough time to boil your noodles.
