Try this delicious and easy pasta dish.
There is nothing that I love more than pasta.
I was trying to brainstorm new recipes and I realized that I haven’t done that many recipes featuring vegan sausage. I never ate sausage before I went vegan. It was something I didn’t care for. That changed when I went vegan.
I fell in love with all the vegan sausage options! I used the Tofurky Italian sausage in this recipe but of course you can use whatever brand you like (although I really recommend this one).
What do you need for this recipe?
- Vegan sausage. One of the stars of this dish. You can use any vegan sausage you like but as I previously stated I really enjoy the Italian Tofurky sausage.
- Broccoli. The other component to this dish. Broccoli is my favorite vegetable of all time and I think it works fantastic in this recipe.
- Butter & Olive Oil. I don’t need to explain. It just helps make it taste fantastic.
- White Wine. I used a Pinot Grigio and I recommend using one too, or another dry white wine. If you don’t want to use alcohol in this dish then subbing with vegetable broth is a good alternative. It won’t taste the same, but it will still be delicious.
- Garlic. Again, does this need an explanation?
- Nutritional Yeast. Helps give it a cheesy and savory flavor. An essential ingredient in vegan pasta dishes.
- Red Pepper Flakes. For a little spice!
- PASTA! You can use regular, gluten free, the world is your (vegan) oyster.
I hope that you enjoy this recipe! If you make any of my recipes, don’t forget to tag me in your photos on IG or stories @plantbasedjane
