Fusilli with Vegan Alfredo Sauce & Soy Curls

As mentioned in my reel, pasta is the key to my family's stomach! I know that if I want to make dinner a breeze, whipping up a batch of pasta is the surefire way to go. This fusilli with vegan alfredo sauce is easy, delish, makes a LOT of portions and its affordable! I add the soy curls to make this a hearty and satisfying dish and also because I believe that the secret to a good vegan dinner is making sure there's. a good portion of protein.

If you've never had soy curls, they are a delicious way to add a "main" protein that tastes similar to chicken! Its dried, so you will need to rehydrate it with water or vegetable broth to get them plump. Don't forget to completely drain the water though because otherwise they'll taste soggy! Pan fry them to get them crispy and they'll taste great with this dish!

What You'll Need

• fusilli pasta
• soy curls
• onion powder
• garlic powder
• vegan butter
• vegetable broth
• vegan mozzarella
• vegan cream (optional)

Pair this dish with a delicious salad such as my broccoli salad or even just steamed broccoli with a little sea salt! I hope you enjoy this recipe and add it to your dinner rotation!
