Ingredients
- 250 grams vegan pasta
- 3 tablespoons vegan butter
- 2 cloves garlic cloves
- 2 tablespoons nutritional yeast
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 4 liters water
Directions
Step 1
Fill a large pot with 4 liters of water and add a pinch of salt. Bring to a rolling boil over high heat.
Step 2
Add the vegan pasta to the boiling water and cook according to the package instructions until al dente. This typically takes around 8-10 minutes.
Step 3
While the pasta is cooking, peel and finely mince the garlic cloves.
Step 4
In a separate large pan, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1-2 minutes until fragrant and lightly golden, but not browned.
Step 5
Once the pasta is cooked, reserve about 1/4 cup of the pasta water and then drain the noodles, returning them to the pot.
Step 6
Add 3 tablespoons of vegan butter to the noodles, pouring in a bit of the reserved pasta water to help melt the butter and coat the noodles evenly.
Step 7
Stir in the sautéed garlic, 2 tablespoons of nutritional yeast, half a teaspoon of salt, and half a teaspoon of black pepper. Toss everything to combine well.
Step 8
Chop the fresh parsley and add it to the noodles, along with 1 tablespoon of lemon juice. Give the noodles another good mix to distribute the parsley and lemon juice evenly.
Step 9
Serve the vegan buttered noodles hot with an additional sprinkle of nutritional yeast, if desired. Enjoy!
