Meal Prep
2 med
Yellow Potatoes
peeled and cubed
1 large
Carrot
coarsely chopped
2 large
Garlic Cloves
peeled and trimmed
1 small
Yellow Onion
coarsely chopped
2 cups
Water
227 g
Quinoa & Brown Rice Pasta
1/3 cup
Nutritional Yeast
1/2 tsp
Paprika
1 tsp
Mustard Seeds
1 tsp
Sea Salt
1
Add the potatoes, carrot, garlic, onion and water to a large pot. Cover, bring to a boil and reduce the heat to a simmer. Cook for 10 minutes or until the potatoes and carrots are fork-tender.
2
Meanwhile, cook the pasta according to package directions. Drain and set aside.
3
Drain the vegetables and set the cooking liquid aside. Add the vegetables to a high-powered blender and add ½ cup of the reserved water. Add the nutritional yeast, paprika, mustard seeds and salt. Blend on high until smooth. Add more of the reserved water as needed to achieve a smooth sauce. Adjust the seasonings to taste.
4
Add the sauce to the pasta and mix well. Use all of the sauce for a very saucy dish, or reserve ½ cups for another day. Serve and enjoy!
5
Refrigerate the leftover sauce and use it within seven days.
6
Substitutions: No quinoa and brown rice pasta: use your favourite gluten-free pasta or another high-protein pasta like lentil pasta. For more umami: add 1-2 tsp of miso paste to the blender before blending the sauce to intensify the umami flavour.
