QUICK AND EASY BEST VEGAN Spaghetti Carbonara

 

 

WHAT FOOD DO WE MISS THE MOST?

Many have asked us what food we miss the most after going vegan. When we say that we don’t miss anything, many don’t believe it. Now bring to mind a food item you don’t eat. Maybe because you don’t like the flavour of it or perhaps it is the texture. Let’s say you thought about a banana. If someone came up to you and asked you what you miss the most about bananas, what would your reply be? Well, nothing. You are free to eat a banana, but you choose not to. If you missed the banana you could just eat a banana, right?

 

 

That is exactly how we feel about the way we eat. I am not restricted by a vegan diet, there aren’t things I am not allowed to eat, but there are things I choose not to eat for various reasons. If I missed these items I would go ahead and eat them, but I don’t miss meat, eggs or milk. For sure, I used to eat them, and the flavour soothed my tastebuds 7 years ago. But is a taste everything? For me, making choices of what I buy isn’t just about the taste, look or smell. (Though this QUICK AND EASY BEST VEGAN Spaghetti Carbonara is a party for the tastebuds).

 

 

HERE IS SOMETHING POWERFUL I MUST SHARE WITH YOU:

Tony Robbins says something so POWERFUL: 

Pleasure is in the body, happiness is in the mind and joy is for the spirit.

 

HOW TO MAKE THE RIGHT CHOICE:

Basically 3 levels of goodness. Let that be an inspiration to us all when making choices: choosing something that benefits all 3 layers, body, mind, spirit, without a compromise! It is EMPOWERING! Believing that we are unable to cut meat or dairy out of our diet purely because of the pleasure of its flavour is neglecting the depth we all have as living beings!

 

NEVER COMPROMISE FLAVOUR:

And with that in mind, choosing joy for the spirit doesn’t ever have to be a compromise of pleasure for your body, QUITE THE OPPOSITE! Have you tried cooking a recipe your grandad/grandma used to cook? You do exactly the same, but somehow it never tastes the same. Even when you see your grandad/grandma cooking this the exact same way as you, but when you taste it, IT SO AMAZING! Why is that? Because they stir taste in it just by having a deep love for you. And so, making a choice that is soothing for the spirit, the mind and the body food will taste 10 times better especially this classic dish made VEGAN - QUICK AND EASY BEST VEGAN Spaghetti Carbonara

 

This QUICK AND EASY BEST VEGAN Spaghetti Carbonara recipe is SO GOOD! Will and I prefer to eat food without garlic and onion, but if you are loving these flavours you are so free to add them to this dish.

 

This recipe leaves us satisfied in the body, mind and spirit with energy to keep choosing, loving and dancing!

Let’s rock the kitchen:

 

1. Get your veg ready, prepare and fry your mushrooms and if you have other things (like broccoli or tofu) that need pan-frying, do it as the first thing.
2. Cook the pasta according to the instructions on the package. If you are using frozen spinach add the frozen spinach to the pasta now allowing it do cook together with the pasta. If you are using fresh spinach add later.
3. While the pasta is cooking add all the ingredients for the sauce to a high-speed blender and blend, adding water until it is like a thick pancake batter. Taste and add salt and black pepper according to your taste.
4. The last 2 minutes of the pasta cooking time add the peas and if you are using fresh spinach add this now as well.
5. Drain the pasta, spinach and peas and pour back into the hot saucepan.
6. Mix in pan-fried mushrooms and if you have other items from the fancy item list, now is the time to get it all together.
7. Pour over the sauce and mix gently with two forks.

 

SERVE and ENJOY!! :D
