Ingredients

  

• 4 cups Plain unflavored plant milk
• 1 cup Coconut Milk
• 8 ounces Pasta cavatelli
• 2 tablespoon Nutritional Yeast
• 1/2 teaspoon Tumeric
• 1 teaspoon White Miso Paste
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 1 teaspoon Garlic Powder

• Chopped Parsley optional

Instructions

 

• In a large pot, whisk together plant milk, tumeric, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and white miso paste. Bring to boil.

• Stir coconut milk mixture, nutritional yeast and lemon juice into pasta. Continue to cook, stirring frequently for another 2 to 3 minutes.

Notes

MAKE IT GLUTTEN-FREE: Use Gluten-free pasta to make this dish gluten-free.

*GREENIER VERSION: During the last 2-3 minutes of boiling the pasta, add 1 cup of small, chopped broccoli florets. Proceed with the rest of the recipe as directed.

**MISO: Miso is an incredible addition to vegan cheese sauces. It’s an all-in-1 ingredient to add saltiness, depth, and that touch of sweetness that’s ideal for replicating the flavour of dairy.
