Ingredients
- 10 oz Spaghetti or any other pasta of your choice (gluten-free if necessary)
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 large onion diced
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 1 large carrot peeled and diced
- 1 ½ cups plant based milk
- 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
- ¼ cup nutritional yeast
- ¼ cup tapioca flour
- ½ tsp salt or to taste
- 1 recipe oyster mushroom bacon sliced
Instructions
- Cook the pasta according to packaging instructions, until al dente.
- At the same time, heat the olive oil in a large saucepan over a medium-high heat and add the onion, garlic and carrots. Cook for 5 minutes, until softened.
- Now add the tapioca flour and stir together for a few minutes, before adding the plant based milk gradually, around ¼ cup at a time, stirring until it thickens before adding more.
- Add the nutritional yeast and apple cider vinegar, and stir thoroughly.
- Drain the pasta when ready (but don't rinse it) and transfer to the pan with the sauce, followed by the mushroom bacon. Toss together, seasoning with salt and pepper. Serve when all the pasta is thoroughly coated in the sauce.
Notes
- You can easily make this dairy-free carbonara gluten-free by using gluten-free pasta.
- While sautéing the onion and carrots, you can add any other vegetables of your choice - for instance, zucchini and bell peppers.
- This dish is best eaten straight away, but you can keep it in the fridge in an airtight container for 2-3 days and reheat in the microwave, or on the stove, adding a little bit more plant based milk.
