Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 250 grams vegan pasta
- 3 tablespoons vegan butter
- 2 cloves garlic cloves
- 2 tablespoons nutritional yeast
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 4 liters water
Instructions
Fill a large pot with 4 liters of water and add a pinch of salt. Bring to a rolling boil over high heat.
Add the vegan pasta to the boiling water and cook according to the package instructions until al dente. This typically takes around 8-10 minutes.
While the pasta is cooking, peel and finely mince the garlic cloves.
In a separate large pan, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1-2 minutes until fragrant and lightly golden, but not browned.
Once the pasta is cooked, reserve about 1/4 cup of the pasta water and then drain the noodles, returning them to the pot.
Add 3 tablespoons of vegan butter to the noodles, pouring in a bit of the reserved pasta water to help melt the butter and coat the noodles evenly.
Stir in the sautéed garlic, 2 tablespoons of nutritional yeast, half a teaspoon of salt, and half a teaspoon of black pepper. Toss everything to combine well.
Chop the fresh parsley and add it to the noodles, along with 1 tablespoon of lemon juice. Give the noodles another good mix to distribute the parsley and lemon juice evenly.
Serve the vegan buttered noodles hot with an additional sprinkle of nutritional yeast, if desired. Enjoy!
