EASIEST VEGAN PASTA SAUCE | PLANT BASED BASICS 

Sometimes the best recipes are the simplest. 😉

I think mushrooms would work well with this as well.

Peas?

Mushrooms and several handfuls of fresh baby spinach right at the end, so they wilt and soften but don't really cook.

Eggplant/aubergine and sun-dried tomatoes!

Thanks. Exellent tip.

cool thanks

lies..... Italians don't watch vegan pasta dishes.

@Veggie Katbag any of them contained cashew cream?

Mike O'Horny Was ist schief mit dir

Thank you!

GeekChick6 thanks

I appreciate you

Thank you

I hear you; I am tested allergic to wheat but rye etc ok; (pumpernickel bread no problem) but my thinking is as long as it's gluten-free unprocessed which for a lot of people means brown rice not from California....., oats, and then quinoa and wild rice which are not grains, so who knows, sounds ok. I make pasta maybe 2x mo think it's ok; buy chickpea version; not that big a difference in price and actually is convincing; more fibre so people stop eating a bit faster. As long as you are ok don't over think it; absolutely do not get lost in the details. p.s. if real wheat allergy don't use soy sauce -- Bragg's or just tamari. Absolutely enjoy your food!!!

Memo Memo I find eating gluten free lighter. Whenever I eat regular pasta it sits in my tummy and I feel full and gross. I’m not celiac, I just prefer gluten free.

LES For the same reason I prefer H2O-free water. It just makes me feel lighter and healthier!

@@leoleone2.0 u should also try air ice cubes.

I love gluten. It's the best bit.

Same here, they like bland food

Amen.

Fr lol I’d probably add more tbh I love garlic

more garlic the better. based

Rinsed*

Teaspoon of garlic powder.

Wahoo perfect!

@@thehappypear NEVER waste anything you guys are the bomb even though I HATE coconut anything tamari Is always my excuse for umami plus... mushrooms .. ; I have a sort of keto/medditerranian (who cares about spelling at a time like this) sister. That tiny bit of salt neither of us can live without; also a bit of miso paste and some nori … returning to our sheep (you can tell I'm French) for people who really want convincing pasta -- I really am allergic to wheat stuff but gluten ok -- full chickpea flour pasta in all its glory and I try not to overdo the pasta but this amount of fiber will slow anyone down no matter how delicious. and if you use either spaghetti or fusilli -- no-one noticed. Or lack of beef in a spag bol using these guys' lentils A plus . Best wishes to you guys; for obvious reasons I love my sis, what's not to love. Getting over knee replacement; wtf. Vr David Bowie cane, great physio guy and swimming is vastly underrated. Also my sis. Went to the Messiah which for rock people like us is just unbelievable music, love Handel, the choir which is definition of community; the dedication that goes into making this indescribable music. There was a woman in front of us who came by herself and fell down before they began ; my sister and another person got her back up and all she wanted was to sit and listen. We got her into a cab and sorted it; she was a delight. It was my Christmas whatever it means to others, would love to hear about other peoples' ideas, you are in the right place; this is Ireland's best place to be.

roasted red pepper hummus. you could find a recipe on youtube

They are also good on sandwiches.

I said the same thing

I was looking for this comment. What's not vegan about tomato, garlic, basil and olive oil?

@@JimboCruntz well this recipe is sort of creamy because of the blended cashews, and it's always nice to have creamy variations for vegans

Yes but they are entirely different recipes? :D I don‘t get your point.

Marinara is boring, I always find it bitter and sour no matter how much I reduce it as well

@@SayuriYaki legit 😂

Not fully true. Current crops have several times more gluten than they naturally had. It's good to fight femine but could be too much for your intestine if you eat it regularily.

@@emme6847 explain to me why it is bad for my intestines?

Did they say that? I only heard them saying "use full grain for healthier, or gluten free pasta if you want to make it gluten free"

Gluten is actually healthier for some reason. If you go on a gluten free diet your energy levels sore!

Eating gluten free helps you digest your food better, so technically it is healthier because you’re putting less stress on your body :)

No, because then you don't watch it and they can't monetize, I guess ;)

Check the comments! There is always one lovely person who types it out!!

Erin DeLathouwer cool! any tips on roasting garlic and red peppers?

@Shinobu Tsurubushi Good joke. Hail Seitan! XD

@Shinobu Tsurubushi I could never be vegan, even many. Vegans i know are a pain in the ass which I can see by comments here, but I do want to cut down on my meat and dairy.

@Shinobu Tsurubushi Here's my two cents on this. I consume animal product, but I have met people who are vegan. Most of them choose that lifestyle because they feel bad for the animals. Now, how can you say these people have bad morals when they tend to be people who live based on their empathy towards other beings? If anything, they feel more pity and their feelings extend to other beings as well. I'm not saying their diet is the right, or wrong diet. All I'm saying is that those people operate on a high empathy level.

Shinobu Tsurubushi why don’t u get ur head out of ur ass and let people eat what they eat. I eat meat but could not careless if other people are vegans. And not all vegans want to change people’s diets. Some are respectful, some are not. Just like meat eaters. Some are respectful (like me) and some are not (like you)

@@ImHappyToBeHereToo so you think it's better to eat flesh of animals just to oppose vegans you don't like? Come on, if you choose to be vegan you are only doing benefit for your own soul. Peace to you ,I hope you will reconsider.

Google: mushrooms maggots

@@wakkywabbit5446 canned mushrooms you mean?

roberta smiths Did you add the tofu instead of the cashews? Or with the cashews? Curious if the tofu is a good nut replacement.

@@dawnesmith-sliming7004 I used silken tofu instead of cashews for the sauce and then added the Portobello mushroom and the smoked tofu for texture It was really nice and very fluffy I can highly recommend the silken tofu :)

roberta smiths Thanks for the reply. I have a friend who can’t eat cashews so this is food for thought. :)

Very good tip Jeanne

I started this recipe amd then saw your comment, and my eyes widen. Of course! I love chipotle peppers, always have a can of Morena. So, when I saw it I immediately added some at the end. Thanks for this tip, it was delicious!

Yum! Made my mouth water just thinking about it. Glad you tried it !

what's with the hate towards the oil? :(

@@patsmiles6488 It's just the latest pseudo-scientific craze going around. They'll be on something else in a few months.

I thought olive oil is great for helping you absorb more vitamins and stuff

@@Ronoez It's a marginal effect, you're free to include or not include oils, as long as you're getting the nutrition you need.

@NIALL CONLON water lol at least all the ones i've seen. not oil-free tho so it doesnt matter to me

wow!

Ajvar is the best thing ever. I first had it in Croatia, wish I could find it here.

Ajvar ❤️

Thanks it really is 👍🏼😄

It still has oat pulp, even with a vitamix. Might not be so desirable in a smooth sauce like this one.

It’s gonna turn your sauce into porridge

Delighted thanks a mill

10 min then xD

Mig They’re so expensive 😭

@@Me-of1wp Try an Asian/ethic supermarket

Yep. It may not have added processed oils, but this is a high-fat dish.

60p in aldi

Yea anything with cashews and im out. I dont have a money tree

Nice even some aromatic spices would go great!

That's not too far off from some genuine Indian recipes. Kaju curry, for instance, is similar (in its base) to paneer butter masala (or butter chicken if that's more familiar to you), but uses a ground cashew paste like this one in place of cream, and uses pan-toasted cashews instead of paneer or chicken for the "protein".

And curcuma

Take the skin of the peppers first and it'll be fine

I don't even have a blender. I'll have to chew up the nuts and spit them into the sauce.

@@wullaballoo2642 you could crush them to dust

Probably if you blend it long enough

It just takes more time with a less strong blender, but it works. I do it quite often.

What is mooch?

@@bethroundell8424 "Nooch" Nutritional yeast.

Did you try adding nooch? I'm sure it would be good :)

that's their twin thing happening. Just their style.

Thanks a mill you too 👍🏼😄

Oh, the second time you talk about pasta choice you do say that whole wheat would be healthier, and gluten free would be gluten free, but the first time you put forth gluten free as the healthy choice. I think a lot of people are confused about gluten and don't know about it's high protein content. I eat pasta for the gluten/protein in a meal that otherwise often doesn't have a lot of protein in it. Could you address this issue as many people do not understand it. many thanks!

All they did is say that the recipe is gluten free, so that if your someone with a gluten sensitivity it’s okay for u to have, I don’t see why your offended by that...

@You can't leave this empty ha :) they are actually pretty cheap and you can do low fat chips in 15 mins

Delighted thanks a mill 👍🏼😄

There is none.

Apparently most people have an intolerance to wheat from it being in almost everything, not an allergy to it like celiac is. In the US we call it Frankenwheat because it’s changed so much and has been hybridized over the years. That’s the argument against it anyway. I eat wheat but only organic sprouted wheat.

To cover all the bases. I'm sure people who need to be gluten free watch this channel and appreciate the consideration. I personally don't have celiac disease, but I prefer to be GF as much as possible because I feel better without it.

Exactly

Nothing. Some ppl just prefer no oil. It’s all about preference.

M R Cashews are full of oil though, so I don’t think that is the reason for this recipe

I think some just don't like the flavour of olive oil

Matilda Because olive oil is processed and using raw cashews is not

organic fruits are healthy for the planet, unlike being allergic or health risks around gluten.

silvia costanzo have you made this? It rocks.

@@LadeneD I m sure! I would definitely try this recipe!

dont forget the garlic and olive oil my dude , still simple tho =]

some people have celiac disease. some people show as gluten sensitive from their blood tests. Gluten promotes inflammation in the body. Some say it affects your body in many negative ways. Even gives people depression. Try going gluten free for a week and you will notice that your joints feel better with less stiffness. Going gluten free is not that easy though. Wheat seems to be in everything from your vitamin pills to soy sauce.

@@anastasia10017 some people is less than 1% of the population. More marketing to sell more garbage

@@anastasia10017 "Some people say" is very good source of knowledge, especially when affects your health.

@@crisgriffin3042 so make an appointment with your doctor and ask him face to face to explain the effects of gluten in your body instead of making trite remarks on YT.

gluten contains indigestible protiens and zonulin which acts to dialate your intestinal walls allowing bad things into your bloodstream or something I was half watching a presentation on it, a quick search on youtube youll find plenty presentations
