Mexican Fettuccine

March 8, 2011 by epicureanvegan

Mexican Fettuccine -- Epicurean VeganI’ve had some sun-dried tomato pasta in the pantry for a while, so I decided it was high time to do something with it, but any type of pasta will do for this meal. After taking his first bite, The Husband remarked, “Now that’s a smorgasbord of flavors!” It was definitely flavorful and it seemed to gather steam with every bite!

INGREDIENTS:
8-oz sun-dried tomato fettuccine
1/2 C walnuts, chopped
1/2 C salsa
2 C spinach, chopped
1/2 C black olives, sliced
2 Tbs olive oil
2 Tbs nutritional yeast flakes
2 Tbs water
Salt and pepper, to taste
2 green onions, sliced
Tofutti sour cream
Cilantro

DIRECTIONS:
Cook pasta according to package instructions. In the meantime, in a medium sauce pan, toast the walnuts for about 3 minutes. Add the salsa, spinach, black olives, olive oil, nutritional yeast flakes, water, salt, and pepper. Combine well and let simmer on a low heat until spinach has cooked down and everything is heated through.

The Epicurean Vegan is devoted to those wanting to eat healthy, save animals, and reduce their carbon footprint. My decision to go vegan started out as a quest to get healthier, but the more I learned about veganism, the more I realized how damaging the meat and dairy industries are to the environment and, of course, the animals. And it is for these reasons, that I would never go back to eating or wearing animal products. Ever.
