A few weeks ago, my sister, good friend Amy (check out her new YouTube Channel!) and myself attended Ottawa Veg Fest. We sampled amazing food, met genuinely kind people and discovered awesome new vegan companies we could support! All in all, it was a whole lot of fun and a whole lot of food!
One of the brands at the event was NONA. They were serving samples of their rich and creamy vegan sauces. We tried their selection of flavours including Cheesy, Alfredo and speciality Carbonara (a perfect collaboration with MAGIC VEGAN BACON GREASE). The flavours were a spectacle for the tastebuds! So rich and satisfying. So here is what we made with with Carbonara sauce!

STEP 3 As the pasta cooks, add the cabbage, tomato and broccoli, all chopped into small pieces. Cook for 5 minutes. (add water as needed so they don't stick) Once soft, lower heat a bit and add the NONA sauce for the last 3-4 minutes and heat until warm. Mix all together. If it starts getting too thick, add a small amount of plant milk like almond or rice milk just to keep it moving (make sure the heat is low! STEP 4 Serve pasta on plates and top with sauce, fresh basil and coconut bacon! |
