Background
On busy days one of the easiest dish to make is pasta. This vegan leek and cabbage pasta takes just 20 minutes to cook, itβs healthy, filling and can easily be gluten-free too. I used smoked plant-based cheese which added an interesting flavour together with the walnuts - vegetarians could use normal smoked cheese and single cream.
Ingredients
- 200g pasta of your choice
- 1 Tbsp olive oil
- 1 leek
- 1 clove of garlic
- 1 cup shredded dark leaf cabbage
- Β½ lemon, zested and juiced
- 50g smoked vegan cheese alternative
- Β½ cup vegan cream
- 1 handful of walnuts
- Chili flakes, to serve
Instructions
- Cook the pasta according to the instructions on the packaging.
- Thinly slice the leek and cabbage. Mince the garlic and grate the cheese.
- Heat the oil in a saucepan, then gently sautΓ© the leek over a medium heat until soft. Add the minced garlic and stir for a minute or so. Season with salt and pepper to your liking.
- When the pasta is done, drain it and reserve a cupful of the cooking water. Add this to the leek together with the cabbage. Cover and sautΓ© for 5 minutes until the cabbage has softened.
- Add the cream, grated cheese, lemon zest and juice. Stir until you get a thick sauce.
- Add the drained pasta and walnuts, then toss well.
- Serve warm with ground pepper, chilli flakes and extra grated cheese scattered on top.
