NOODLES WITH CREAMY BROCCOLINI OR CAULIFOWER HEMP SAUCE

THIS IS VEGAN FAST FOOD FOR THE WHEN YOU NEED HEALTHY FOOD FAST

creamy vegan noodles with mushrooms and peas

I am working on Fast Food recipes at the moment and this one reminded me of a creamy pasta sauce I used to love before I quit dairy and gluten. It is really quite creamy! I added hemp seeds again, fried mushrooms and peas.

And the unavoidable sprinkle of chilli flakes :)

It is delicious with broccolini and cauliflower, I could not decide which one i preferred-

It is a mild sauce, beautiful by itself. Chilli flakes are not necessary.

This recipe makes 1-2 portion.

PREPARE BROCCOLINI

chop the broccolini in pieces and add to food processor
blitz until fine
nuke in microwave, covered with a plate for 8 minutes

OR PREPARE CAULIFLOWER

cut florets in smaller pieces and blitz them in a food processor
add cauliflower to a microwave safe bowl, place a plate on top
steam it in the microwave for 8 minutes
no water needed

INGREDIENTS FOR SAUCE

the amount of the ingredients can be a little flexible, simply adjust the consistency by adding more or less stock

50 grams broccolini, steamed
