Ingredients
Scale
- 1 8oz Box of Banza Chickpea Elbow Pasta (or Gluten-Free Ronzoni Elbow Pasta)
- 1/4 Cup Nutritional Yeast
- 1/2 Cup Carrot Puree (1 baby food jar)
- 1/2 Tsp Dijon Mustard
- 1/2 Tsp Turmeric
- 1/4 Tsp Paprika
- 1/4 Tsp Onion Powder
- 1/8 Tsp Garlic Powder (to taste)
- Pinch of White Pepper (optional)
Instructions
- In a large pot, cook the pasta in boiling water according to box directions (about 6-7 minutes).
- Drain and rinse the pasta, then add it back to the pot. Pour in the carrot puree, nutritional yeast, mustard, and spices. Mix well to combine.
Notes
*If your carrot puree wasn't "watery" enough, feel free to reserve a few tablespoons of the pasta water and add that back to the pot as well when mixing in the "cheese" ingredients.
**You can use your favorite elbow pasta of course. My other favorite (not grain-free) is TruRoots.
