My husband makes a killer pasta sauce guys! He doesn’t cook often but when he does he usually makes pasta but it is always A-MAZING, he aslo makes a pretty mean sandwich!
He normally loves to add tons of spices and flavours and usually fancies up every meal he makes. So he surprised me with this one by making a simple plain tomato sauce version (no lentils, or beans like usual). His words were ” I want to make something that the kids will love and just eat!”. And if you have kids you know that sometimes tons of flavour/ spices doesn’t always sit well with their immature taste buds!
So for this version he keep the spices traditional and just added some vegan cheese. If you follow me over on instagram you know I am obsessed with culcherd cheese. Like I put that s**t on everything, lol! Not sponsored but I love promoting brands that produce clean delicious products and have a message that resonates with me. BUT, since they are a smaller brand they are not yet found in many grocery stores. So in case you don’t have a good cheese alternative you can just go ahead and sub in almond or cashew milk (or really any nut milk you love with the exception of coconut) and a few extra spoonfuls of the nutritional yeast (which is found at many grocery stores or bulk barns)
Anyways to my surprise Avery, who hates pasta (who knew a 4 year old could hate pasta) didn’t complain once. So this will be another Josh recipe that we will add to our family recipe box! And despite it being a fairly uncomplicated recipe I figured I’d throw it up here. Not only is it delicious, but you can never have enough easy uncomplicated meal right!
