Vegan Pumpkin Spaghetti
Quick and easy Vegan Pumpkin Spaghetti recipe. This is the best pasta recipe to make on lazy weeknights.
Is it where I live, or does it seem like winter just started this weekend?
I look at my phone, and there is a high of -14°C, but then I scroll down and it says "feels like -22°C".
To my American readers, that is -8°F. In other words, too freaking cold to leave my house.
So what do I do? I stay in and look through my cupboards to see what I can do with the ingredients that I already have at home.
What are my staples that I always have in my pantry? Pasta, pumpkin, garlic and alllll of the spices! So this Vegan Pumpkin Spaghetti was inevitable.
While this meal doesn't typically scream comfort food to warm you up on a cold day... well, I didn't have many ingredients to work with. I was really craving a large bowl of chili (like my spicy slow cooker chili), but had no beans, no ground beef, no nothing.
To be honest, by the time I ended up eating it, which was probably 20 minutes after coming up with the idea, it was all I wanted to eat. And all I want to eat for the rest of the week!
Be it snowstorms, busy weeknights or because it is a Monday. I would tell everyone to make this recipe. It is a life saver!
It definitely helped me out. No need to put on 5 layers to leave the house. I have dinner covered, no matter what kind of snowstorm or cold weather Toronto tries to throw at me!
