One Pot Tomato Asparagus Mushroom Pasta (Vegan)

-

Although I am a stay at home mom, I feel like I am always running around absolutely crazy. I mean... I do have a toddler, so you can excuse the mess right?

Any who.... One pot (or pan) dishes are my favorite thing in the whole world. At the end all you have to clean up is the pot, your cutting board, knife and the plates and utensils you used during dinner. And if anyone doesn't see the allure of that... then we can't be friends... just kidding.

I've always loved quick fulfilling dishes so I came up with this One Pot Tomato Asparagus Mushroom Pasta.

And ya'll this one is so delicious... and simple!

Trust me, it really is simple, it took no longer than 30 minutes. And that speaks to me!


What you will need:
1 16oz package of Pasta (your choice)
1 bundle of fresh Asparagus (frozen is also ok)
3-4 cloves of garlic (minced)
1 cup of chopped mushrooms
1 1/2 cups of halved cherry tomatoes
1/2 of a large red onion (diced)
1 tbsp olive oil
2+ cups unsweetened almond milk (or plant based milk of your choice)
1/4 cup of nutritional yeast (or more to liking)
1 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp red chili flakes
1 tsp Italian seasoning
salt and pepper to taste

Directions
1. Preheat your pot at a medium-high heat with a tablespoon of Olive oil (or water if you are doing oil free) As soon as that is warm, add your onions, garlic, asparagus, mushrooms and seasonings (not nutritional yeast), stirring occasionally. 

2. Once the onions appear to be translucent, add your dry pasta and your plant based milk. At this stage I just aim for my milk to cover the pasta, so adjust the amount accordingly. Lower your heat to a simmer and cover around 10 minutes. (checking and stirring as necessary) 

3. When the pasta is just about cooked through, I add the tomatoes and stir again. When the tomatoes become a little wrinkly I add the nutritional yeast, stir and taste to see if any additional flavors are needed then turn off and serve.

This pairs great with a leafy salad and balsamic vinaigrette, and some vegan garlic bread. 

I hope you enjoy this recipe. My first one of my blog! Tell me down below how I did, or how you liked it... or how I can improve!

Talk to you later!

    I was just thinking, "I want to eat that!" and lucky me, I bought some nutritional yeast recently, so I have all the ingredients on hand! I'm going to have this for lunch! :) <3

Vegan Pho

Vegan Pho When I moved back to California, I was introduced to Pho by my husband's cousin. And boy did I fall hard! I mean, it has this amazing broth over these delectable rice noodles, and comes in many options. What is there not to love? Since becoming vegan, we never go out to eat anymore. Half of it is due to finances, and the other half is because I am honestly scared of going out and being fed something that is indeed not vegan. So my solution has been to stay at home, research and try to make my own vegan cost-friendly options! And it has been working! -so far- (makes enough for 4 servings) Ingredients:  2 Star Anise 4 Cloves A pinch of red chili pepper flakes 1 6 inch piece of Ginger (halved) 1/2 of a yellow onion (halved) 2 teaspoons light brown sugar (or rock sugar, found at many asian markets) 2 tablespoons salt (more or less to your liking) 1 cube of Vegetable Bouillon 7 button mushrooms (sliced) 2 medium sized carrot...

Vegan Minestrone Lentil Soup

According to typical Southern California weather, it has actually been feeling like fall! And like how my usual days go, I think ALL day of what I want to make for dinner. I oftentimes find myself thinking of all the things I used to make before switching to veganism and how to make it successfully. So as I was doing my chores around the house I began thinking of things I used to enjoy, and ended up on my patio cleaning up there when it hit me. Fall. Fall hit me, and as mentioned earlier I'm in the Southern California region and it hasn't felt much like fall lately. Sure... we have a chilly day here and there, but it hasn't -felt- like fall until now! Fall for me is being all cuddled up on the couch with a nice warm blanket and a nice hearty bowl of soup like my mom used to make. And that soup for me, has always been Minestrone.  I hope you enjoy this recipe that I have complied for you! And don't forget to let me know if you've made it and how you liked...
