LETS GO VEGAN!

Here's a new recipe I just tried out. I don't cook vegan usually but I have been wanting to try this out for quite a while. It literally took me 15 minutes to prepare this meal and was delicious! (my kids, which are picky eaters, even loved it :D)
A simple, fast and healthy meal on the table in 15 minutes!

Happy to hear @momskitchen! (Sorry 4 the late reply!😫) same goes here!

Welcome back! Great to have you amongst us again. Your dish looks amazing. Good luck.

Thank you so much @foodforsoul for the warm welcome 😙 Its fun to be back! 💪🤗 thanks for the support! Good luck to you too- your dish (as always ) looks amazing and delicious!! Never tried tiramisu made like that!

How’s your little one settling in?

10x 4 asking @foodforsoul😁 (and sorry for the late reply...)
Hes adorable!!! I forgot how tiny they are as newborns😄! Nights are a bit challenging at the moment .. but its definitely worth it!🤗

You don’t have to apologise I know exactly how time flies when you have a little one around ;)

Hello @cooknbake, nice to see you back on your feet. Question about the 1/2 cup of water. Does it function as a paste for the ingredients? So that it sticks to the pasta or what does it do to the pasta?

Hi @harlot:) Yup, trying to get back to routine as fast as I can! Thank you :) The sauce can be a bit thick when mixing it together with the pasta. Adding the water while mixing together gives it a nicer and smoother consistency. Hope you get a chance to try it out! Ill be happy to know how it turned out if you do :))

Oh that is what it do. Thank you for clarifying :) Maybe replacing the water with Olive Oil is also a good idea? Sorry I am just worried that the water will flush out the taste (I am pretty new to this one).

Olive oil would be great as well! 🤗

Looking good ma cherie, yuuuum!

Woukd be perfect with zoodles too 🤤🤤🤤🤤

Good luck!

Merci, merci cherie! 🤗 zooodles!! (I love that name!!😄) I never tasted them, though im sure itll go great with this sauce @thekitchenfairy!
