Everyday Spaghetti Carbonara (30 minutes) vegan recipe

Is there ever a carbonara sauce? Asked me recently my brother, because the Italian classic is his absolute favorite dish. I actually had to think fast, because the classic recipe is made with egg, lots of Parmesan cheese and Bacon made. After googling a bit and in parallel firing up my gray brain cells, I came up with the idea for this recipe. Of course, I have not reinvented the vegan carbonara, but it is quite to my taste. My brother confirmed it, Mamma Mia!

Would you like Mama Caro’s Carbonara?

The biggest challenge with this dish is substituting eggs without sacrificing flavor. I therefore opted for a creamy cashew sauce, seasoned with a little salt, pepper and nutmeg. The bacon? Here I use smoked tofu, which already brings a very great aromatic note. And the Parmesan ? No problem, it’s vegan.

I admit that the recipe is a little different from the original Italian version, but I have an excuse: there is already an approved German version and it comes to the table with lots of cream and a pinch of nutmeg. It’s really cheeky of the Germans to copy this Italian pasta recipe just like that, isn’t it? And then also just dump in cream?!? The Italian mama would throw her hands up in horror.

Cashews instead of cream – the perfect alternative

The only question left is what makes cashews so healthy? They contain:

  • High content of polyunsaturated fatty acids
  • Vitamins A, B, D and E
  • Proteins
  • Amino acid tryptophan (precursor of serotonin)
  • Magnesium, iron, zinc, potassium and phosphorus

Suitable for this dish is the vegan parmesan and of course vegan coconut bacon . Maybe one more Chocolate orange raw truffle for dessert? Simply heavenly.

30 minutes, under 10 ingredients, that’s all you need for this dish. I promise you that all friends of Italian pasta will love you for it. As a final touch, add freshly ground vegan Parmesan and let’s get this pasta party started!

  • For the CASHEWSAHNE place all ingredients in a high-powered blender and process to a uniform liquid. Season to taste and add to the cooked pasta. If the sauce thickens too much (it varies depending on the type of pasta, add another sip of vegetable milk). Heat again slightly so that the dish is nice and hot when served.
    ALTERNATIVE: Mix smoked tofu and cashew cream together before serving, but the smoked tofu will lose crunch. Both varieties are very good in taste.

Notizen

*Save this step if you have a high line mixer. Otherwise, soak cashews in boiling hot water an hour beforehand. DO NOT cover, strain and use.
