My. New. OBSESSION.
I have had this SO many times this month it’s not even funny! This recipe started out as trying to be a vegan mac n cheese... it didn’t taste much like that. But it tasted SO good I could not, not share it with you all! I gave it a different name because this is a veggie sauce you cannot pass up!
Vegan Veggie Spaghetti Sauce!
Nick and I decided to attempt this recipe a few weeks ago and the batch we made ended up being WAY bigger than we expected but that was OK because we ate it for the next two days and even being leftovers it was totally bomb! So I decided to leave the recipe as is, I didn’t want to make it smaller because for larger families or those of you who like left overs this will be perfect!
And literally as I am typing this, I am wondering if this sauce would be good canned/frozen or something to have ready to go on hand? I have only ever canned salsa from our garden, Q: to any of you out there that are into canning other things let me know your thoughts on this? Do you think it would work?
Anyways back to the recipe, the sauce is a bunch of veggies with a hint of almond milk and lots of nutritional yeast! (aka the kinda cheesy flavor) it’s creamy and flavorful.
I choose spaghetti pasta but you can choose whatever you want.
So for the sauce you boil the veggies until they are soft and then you put them in the blender or food processor and blend with the almond milk and nutritional yeast and that’s it, pour over your pasta and go to happy pasta land. 😉 I know you know what I am talking about!
creamy. flavorful. totally addicting. make it tonight!

Notes
Notes:
This is a large serving of veggie sauce and I recommend spaghetti, fettuccini , shell pasta or anything with textures for this, any other pasta will work and taste amazing but this serving size of sauce will probably be way too much because they don’t absorb as much sauce!
eat. this. every. night. pasta = love

I love cauliflower cheese sauce. This looks so good, Michele! I could totally dig into that plate of spaghetti.

Wow. This looks so good! And so simple. I've been using my spiralizer a lot lately, so I'm trying to find new sauces. I bet this would be great on some zucchini noodles!
tworaspberries
YES! it would be amazing on zucchini noodles, but I would probably add less liquid so it's a thicker texture because those noodles already have moisture so this may be too runny, but that does sounds DELICIOUS! 😉

While this does sound delicious, the only way you could can this is either by adding 2-3 tablespoons of acid per pint (bottled lemon juice or apple cider vinegar) and processing for at least 20 minutes in a water bath canner OR pressure canning it.
Because this is a low acid, I would pressure can it like chili (also a low acid sauce). http://www.ehow.com/how_2073289_home-can-chili.html

THANKS so much for answering this! 😉 I didn't know about the acid factor, good to know! I just may have to try it adding the acid options to it! thanks again hope you have a beautiful weekend!

I love these cheesy sauces, especially with those yummy veggies in it! I've heard amazing things about using sweet potatoes in cheese, but haven't tried it yet. One of my recipes uses regular red potatoes, but I definitely need to try with sweet potatoes. This has me hungry now, looks so comforting!
tworaspberries
me too! and you SO need to try it with sweet potatoes it's amazing makes it sweet and really creamy! 😉 thanks girl!
