Taco Pasta
1 pound whole wheat pasta of your choice
Your favorite "cheese" sauce recipe from Vegweb.com
1 package of your favorite ground beef substitute
1/2 to 1 packet of vegan/organic taco seasoning
Cook the pasta according to instructions on box.
I use an awesome cheese sauce recipe that involves cashews and nutritional yeast, and I cannot find it on the website to cite the source. Use any cheese sauce recipe that you like; when I figure out who made the one I use, I will post it (it only takes about five minutes to prepare).
Saute the "beef" according to instructions: usually you just add water and heat until beefy. Add the taco seasoning but be careful, sometimes a whole packet is too much.
Put the pasta into a very large mixing bowl, and add the sauce and the beef and mix. I serve it with hot sauce.
This is extremely quick, cheap, and tasty. My husband (carnivore) had two bowls for dinner and loved it.
Enjoy!
SO HOW'D IT GO?
this sounds kinda like a hamburger helper-esque recipe. i agree with baypuppy on dragonfly's dry uncheese mix. when/if i try this out, i'll probably use black beans instead of the crumbles. unless i feel like splurging, in which case i'll probably use black beans AND crumbles. mmm
