Creamy Vegan Pasta (Ready in 25 Minutes!)

Total Time: 25 mins | Prep: 10 mins | Cook: 15 mins | Serves: 4

This is one of those "throw it together while helping with spelling homework" kind of dinners. It’s cozy, cheesy (without actual cheese), and comes together with pantry staples. It’s also my go-to when I want a no-fuss dinner that still feels like comfort food.

🛒 Ingredients

👩‍🍳 Instructions

  1. Boil the Pasta
    Cook pasta according to the package. Drain and set aside.
  2. Make the Sauce Base
    In a saucepan, melt vegan butter and whisk in the flour to make a roux.
  3. Add the Good Stuff
    Slowly add plant milk, whisking constantly to avoid clumps. Stir in nutritional yeast, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
  4. Toss and Serve
    Once the sauce thickens (about 5 minutes), toss in your cooked pasta. Mix well and serve hot!

🧠 Mom Tips

  • 🧀 Cheesy Boost: Add a handful of shredded vegan cheese for extra creaminess.
  • 🥦 Veggie Add-In: Stir in peas, spinach, or broccoli for a nutrition bump.
  • 🧊 Leftovers: Store beautifully in the fridge for 2–3 days. Just reheat with a splash of milk.

💕 Why I Love It

It feels indulgent, but it’s actually super clean. It’s also budget-friendly, quick, and perfect for “I forgot to thaw something” nights.
