Lightened-Up Carbonara Pasta
Classic carbonara pasta may be delicious, but it’s as rich as rich can be, loaded with eggs, hard cheese and thick-cut bacon. Because of its high fat and cholesterol content, it’s off the table for many, along with its unique taste experience. To help fill what some may feel is a considerable void (While others may feel that this version is the way it always should have been!) we offer this lightened-up, vegan dish. These better-for-you ingredients come together so beautifully, with a decadent creaminess, that you won’t remember it was ever made any other way.
Lightened-Up Carbonara Pasta
- 1 pkg. (8 oz.) gluten-free pasta ( cooked)
- 1 pkg. (5 oz.) plant-based bacon or pork (cooked)
- Fresh parsley
- Cracked black pepper
Sauce:
- 1 Tbsp. olive oil
- 1 small yellow onion (chopped)
- 3 tsp. garlic (minced)
- ¼ cup gluten-free flour
- 2-¾ cups plant-based milk
- 1 Tbsp. nutritional yeast
- 2 Tbsp. cashew cream cheese
- 2 Tbsp. vegan parmesan cheese
- 1 tsp. salt
- ¼ tsp. black pepper
- In large pot, bring water to boil and cook pasta according to package directions.
- In large pan, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add onions and garlic and sauté until onion turns translucent and begins to brown, about 5 minutes.
- Sprinkle flour over onions and stir to coat. Cook about 60 seconds.
- Whisk in all remaining ingredients and cook about 5 minutes until thickened, whisking as needed. (Note: If sauce gets too thick, add splash more plant-based milk; if sauce is too thin, cook it longer.)
In large bowl, combine pasta, bacon and sauce and toss together.
- Garnish with fresh parsley and black pepper.
