INGREDIENTS:

12 oz. dry fettuccine or your choice of pasta

1 pint soy milk

4 cloves garlic, minced

6 Tbsp. vegan cheese, grated

4 Tbsp. fresh parsley, chopped

Freshly ground black pepper, to taste

40z vegetables of your choice (such as carrots, broccoli or peas), chopped and steamed

DIRECTIONS:

Cook and drain the pasta.

Place in a large non-stick sauté pan along with the soy milk and garlic. Bring to a simmer, stirring frequently. Add the vegan cheese.

Continue cooking until the “cheese” melts and the sauce thickens. Stir in the parsley and black pepper. Add the steamed vegetables, toss gently and serve.

Don’t forget the garlic bread! Yum!

Ingredients for vegan banana bread:

1 cup of sugar (sugar in the raw)

1/2 cup of butter substitute (Earth Balance)

egg substitute for 2 eggs (2 tablespoons of flax, ground up works well, and 6 tablespoons

of water)

3 bananas (though 2 will work)

1 teaspoon baking soda

1 1/2 cups of flour

1/4 teaspoon of salt

1 teaspoon of vanilla

Directions:

Put all of the above ingredients into a bowl and beat together with a mixer until smooth. Pour into a greased loaf pan and bake for roughly 45 minutes at 325 degrees or until a toothpick comes out clean. It may take slightly longer to cook than 45 minutes.

This recipe works well at both sea level and higher altitudes (add an extra bit of flour for cooking at altitude).

Preparation time: 10 minutes + 45 minutes baking time
