5 Ingredient Creamy Vegan Pasta
Easy 5 Ingredient Creamy Vegan Pasta. Think of this as the same category as a carbonara (but definitely not authentic). It's creamy, silky, smokey from the vegan bacon and delicious.
Prep Time 5 minutes mins
Cook Time 7 minutes mins
- 1 tsp olive oil
- 3 rashers vegan bacon diced
- 2 portions spaghetti around 200g
- 3 cloves garlic finely chopped
- 120 g vegan cream cheese I use Nush
- salt and pepper to taste
- 1 tbsp dried parsley or freshly chopped basil
Start by bringing a pot of salted water to boil before adding the spaghetti
Finely chop the garlic and vegan bacon then add to a large pot with the olive oil, fry on a low-medium heat
Once the garlic and vegan bacon has fried off add the cream 'cheese' with around 150ml of the pasta water
Drain the rest of the water from the spaghetti then add to the pot with the cream cheese mix
Season generously with salt and pepper, this is key to getting a good flavour
Add in the dried or fresh herbs, stir through and enjoy
