Notes
- Notes If you have an herb or ghee butter, use it! It’ll be delicious. You can substitute ALL of the dairies in this recipe for your favorite vegan options- be sure to use slightly less plant-based milk and add extra nutritional yeast to bring out that cheesy flavor! Customize this pasta by adding some of your favourite roasted vegetables or adding a protein option, it’s endless! Swap the long fusilli for your preferred pasta shape OR use gluten-free pasta! Store the pasta in the fridge for 5 – 7 days, and reheat to serve!
